Vaude Men's Virt Softshell Pants II

Made with plenty of versatility to get you through the unpredictable autumn and winter riding months, the updated version of the Vaude Men’s Virt Softshell Pants combines repellency to both wind and rain with intense breathability beautifully. That’s provided by the softshell section that stretches to just below the knees, and the airflow that is promoted as a result wicks moisture with ease to keep you dry and sweat free. The lower section of the pants sits closer to the legs to keep aerodynamic shaping high, with further windproofing and stretchiness allowing for complete freedom of movement.

On top of that, this dual layer system significantly increases the durability of the shorts, especially around the seat area, so you can keep using them season after season either on the road or trail. It’s a great fit too thanks to a Velcro®-adjustable waistband, which is cut slightly higher at the back for better coverage, and the cuffs feature easy to adjust zips to ensure a complete barrier against the elements. Reflective elements keep you safe and seen when the light begins to dade, there’s even more ventilation available via side seam zips, and a zipped pocket takes good care of your valuables.

Finally, the Virt Pants are designed to be as ethically produced as possible: as part of the Green Shape label, it’s made with sustainable materials; the Eco Finish waterproofing is free from harmful PFC fabrics; and as a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, Vaude work hard to make sure that working conditions are monitored closely.
