The Metso Hybrid trousers are made from a breathable, very low-noise, stretch wool blend, with a Bionic Finish ECO® treatment, to make the wool even more water- and dirt-repellent. Wool has always been the hunter’s textile of choice, because it is naturally heat-regulating and is a very low-noise material, ideal for stalking. The trousers also have a range of useful features that will demonstrate their worth out in the field: on the hips are long ventilation zips backed with a mesh lining, to let air circulate in hot weather, while keeping insects, leaves or twigs out. On the left hip is a strong D ring, for attaching various items or a dog lead. In addition to two open front pockets, the trousers have a zipped pocket on each upper thigh for mobile phones or anything else you need to keep safe when stalking. The right-hand thigh pocket contains a cartridge holder for four cartridges, as a backup. The Metso Hybrid trousers have behind-the-knee adjustments, which are handy when you are constantly on the move, and ankle straps to provide a close fit with your boots. The trousers also have Cordura® reinforcements at the ankles, where they are naturally subject to the most wear.
