FirstGear Women's HT Air 2.0 Mesh Overpants
Sizing Information:
Select a pant size based upon a US ladies dress size. These pants are made to be worn over street clothing, and they are oversized just a bit (no need to order larger than usual). You can refer to First Gear’s sizing chart for more sizing information.
The HT Air Overpants combine “free air” design with a removable windproof and waterproof liner to provide about the best “all weather” design of its kind. We have lots of “free air” pants from various manufacturers, but this one is the only one that will work over a wide temperature range. Like the latest “free air” design jackets, these pants have a removable liner that will break the wind and keep out the water in cooler weather. But then when it heats up, you can take out the liner and let the wind blow through. These pants would be an ideal choice for the traveler with limited space and a wide variety of weather conditions to contend with. And an over-pant design is ideal for commuters. You can wear them over your street clothes and then conveniently step out of the pants when you get where you are going using the long side zippers. These side zippers are also “two way” meaning they’ll zip down from the waist as well as up from the ankle. This feature lets you reach into your jeans pockets easily. Take the “View Larger Pictures” link above for a really good set of photos that shows this pant’s key features. The pants come complete with Temperfoam armor in the knees. This type of armor is soft and pliable, but gets momentarily hard in case of an impact. The knee armor can be upgraded with the CE approved Core-Comp armor (see below). The pants come with some removable thin foam hip pads. We carry an upgrade for this armor called Hiprotech (also see below). Of the two armor types, I’d say the hip armor is in most need of an upgrade. The Core-Comp armor is only marginally better than the standard Temperfoam, but the Hiprotech armor is WAY better than the thin hip armor supplied as standard.
