Halvarssons Myrtorp pants in grey / black Product Information
The Myrtorp pant is the matching lower half designed to go with the Myrvik adventure jacket.
It is made from a 600 denier Cordura-style fabric. And like the Myrvik, as you would expect, the pants come with zip-out thermal and waterproof inners. This is standard fare in what we might term a proper adventure outfit. You leave the membrane in when it’s wet and cold. You remove it when it’s hot. For breathability, you get vents on the thighs and under a flap at the waist.
When it comes to protection, you get Halvarssons’ new and rather lovely, soft, Level 2 armour in the knees and hips. There’s lightweight Superfabric on the knees, and leather patches in the seat. The Myrtorp is rated AA under EN17092.
For comfort, there are stretch panels in the crotch and in the back of the legs. You also get concertina banding at the knees. The pants come with braces, which are useful off the bike, although on it you would probably zip into the jacket with the full length zip. The waist features elasticated adjusters. In the lower part of the leg, long zips will allow you to wear the Myrtorp over almost any boot. You also get a Velcro closures at the bottom of the leg.
The Myrtorps are classic adventure pants. Adventure pants with fixed membranes aren’t really adventure pants in our view. Leave the membrane in place with the Myrtorps, and you will have a pair of waterproof pants, although zip-out membranes are never the most impervious to water ingress.
But there is one problem with the Myrtorp pant, and that is that it only comes in one length. And that’s a major weakness, because it means that these pants are not going to work on people under, say, five foot seven or over six foot. That means that the pant is only going to be wearable by about 50% of people. It makes it difficult for a retailer like us to really get behind them. Frankly, if you want to be a serious player at the upper end of the market you need to be offering both short and long-leg configurations. The pant is a nice one, so we find this bit of corner and price cutting a bit disappointing.
