Mello Tech Tight
£54.99
Mello Tech Tights are the reinforced version of our bestselling Mello tights. Ultra durable leggings designed for life outdoors: hiking, hillwalking, scrambling and climbing - with extra reinforced panels on the highest wear areas.
- Reinforced ripstop panels on seat and knees
- 4-way stretch for comfort and free movement
- Moisture wicking to remove sweat
- 2 thigh pockets and a zip pocket for valuables
Our tech tights are made with a heavier weight, stretch fabric to shrug off abrasions and survive regular scrambling and climbing adventures. We've used a reinforced ripstop fabric on the seat and knees to help protect against gritstone scuffs and rocky belay stances.
Close-fitting but not compressive, Mello have a mid to high rise that lets them sit neatly under a harness, with a deep flattering waistband and internal drawcord to hold them in place when moving fast. Keep phones and valuables secure while working hard with two discrete thigh pockets and a zipped security pocket.
Active comfort, built to last.
