The Northfinder CAROLE 3/4 length trousers are ultralight and stretchy and they are ideal for summer hikes and treks. Extremely stretchy 4-way stretch material with DWR treatment ensures that water droplets don't soak into the fabric, but run down it. The surface is coated with an eco-friendly water-repellent impregnation that has no PFC compounds. The waistband is fitted with an elastic band. When hiking, you will also appreciate the two front pockets.
