These overtrousers excel in performance and outlast the challenges posed by Mother Nature during extended backpacking adventures. When you're aiming to stay lightweight, compact, and quick-drying, these trousers also need to be resilient enough to withstand the harsh and testing conditions of the wilderness.
By merging all these essential features with a technically sophisticated design, user-friendly elements, and an innovative Ripstop WeathATech Flex fabric that moves and stretches with you, you have a remarkable product. This range is truly a powerhouse, achieving the perfect blend of durable protection while ensuring lightweight, breathable performance and comfort.
Key Features
Elastic waist and added belt: loops for quick to pull on secure fit

100% seam sealed: ensures moisture does not leak through when worn over other layers
Inseam gusset and articulated knees: for enhanced comfort and unrestricted movement

Deep hand pockets: with water resistant zips

Long leg zips: make it easy to get on and off over boots. Covered by a wider storm flap for protection

Double layer heavy duty scuff patch at the inside ankle: protects from crampons and rubbing

100% Waterproof
With an impressive 20k (min) waterproof rating (tested to the JIS L 1092B Standard) and a durable C6 DWR for ‘real world’ durable water repellency, the Guardian is your reliable ally for conquering rugged mountain terrains and enduring harsh alpine conditions, where mother nature can throw it all at you.
100% Windproof
The fabric is a technical, three-layer material that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable, offering the ideal balance of durable protection, lightweight performance, and comfort.
Breathable
Keeping your entire layering system breathing is key to staying comfortable, focussed and in-the-zone throughout the active hunt. That’s why we have armed THE GUARDIAN with a premium-performance breathable waterproof/windproof membrane, featuring an outstanding 30k g/m²/24hr MVTR (JIS L 1099 B1 Standard). That’s twice as breathable as our previous best selling Glaisnock Jacket! The GUARDIAN delivers unmatched comfort and temperature regulation to keep you focused, dryer and more comfortable throughout... no matter how challenging the elements.
2-Way Stretch
The Guardian Overtrousers are crafted from our exclusive Stoney Creek technical performance rainwear fabric called WeathaTech Flex. Designed specifically for those who demand the absolute pinnacle in performance rainwear, and whom prioritise comfort and maneuverability.
Tough
Designed with the perfect balance of strength and lightness, THE GUARDIAN is built tough to withstand the harsh mountain and forest terrains we play in. Armed with 150d T800 Polyester Ripstop, it offers the optimal amount of durability and protection you can trust without slowing you down. The Guardian Overtrousers weigh just 732 grams (Men’s Medium) and paired with the Guardian Jacket (920 grams), you get a complete ultra-tough rainwear/outer layer set for just over 1.7kg—an exceptional weight-saving performance!
Antimicrobial Treated
The Guardian Jacket and Overtrouser feature a silver ion polymer treatment that provides long-lasting antimicrobial and odour control by disrupting odour-causing bacteria. This durable treatment withstands up to 40–50 washes without compromising breathability, feel, or appearance. By preventing microbial growth, it enhances the longevity and sustainability of the rainwear.
