Short or long?

Especially in the transition period, you ask yourself before a tour whether you need long trousers or the shorts are sufficient. Our recommendation for every hiking or trekking tour: the zip-off trousers.

As a true quick-change artist, these trousers multiply the range of applications enormously. If the temperature rises or the effort is increased, the trouser legs are simply unzipped. By means of a leg zipper (or a T-Zip) the hiking boots do not have to be taken off.

In addition to the light, quick-drying stretch material, the trousers are characterised by a perfect fit. The leg lengths are also available in short and long. This is important for the fit of the trousers, for example that the pre-shaped knees are in the right place. The Comfort Stretch material consists of highly elastic, breathable microfibres that transport moisture, allow unlimited freedom of movement and provide an optimal microclimate. It also has a water and dirt repellent coating.

The Trekking Zip-Off Pants by Löffler are available in several versions and colours for men and women.

Whatever you need in the morning to stop yourself getting cold must fit into your jersey pocket by the afternoon, without you having to stop and change.

Gravel clothing: The right kit for long days and changing conditions

For gravel rides, you don’t need a road cycling kit – nor do you need MTB gear. Gravel clothing solves a specific problem: comfort over long distances on varied terrain, with temperatures that can fluctuate by 10 degrees or more over the course of a day. The answer is a modular setup comprising a durable jersey, a long-distance-ready chamois, a packable windbreaker and a base layer with proper storage space.
