Cascade Merino Flex 200 Legging | Men’s

Never mind Long John Silver these are long-john gold

We love a good pair of long-johns. Perhaps it’s because it feels like wearing pyjamas under your clothes. And these Cascade leggings from Mons Royale are a cut above the rest, thanks to their fantastic Merino Flex four-way stretch fabric. Designed and extensively tested on the ski slopes of New Zealand, they’ve got a huge following among the snow sports crowd offering an unbeatable combination of flexibility and comfort. On top of their super-stretchiness and durability, the Cascade leggings also boast all those great features that have made merino blend fabrics the go-to material for mountain base layers they’re warm, breathable and quick-drying, plus they resist odours a whole lot better than synthetics. Because no-one wants to be rinsing out long-johns each evening when they could be getting stuck into the apres-ski.

• • Ethically Sourced Materials – Mons Royale partners with New Zealands ZQRX Merino, the worlds leading ethical wool brand.
  • Manufactured Sustainably – Mons Royale wool is spun at Sedwolle, a global leader for worsted spun yarn and certified with the latest eco certifications including Bluesign and Oeko-Tex standards.
  • Sustainable Packaging – Mons Royale have phased out 90% of virgin plastic from their hang tags and accessories, replacing them with recycled and natural alternatives. Their products are packaged in plant based compostable bags and FSC certified paper.

• Flashy technical outerwear is all well and good, but the foundation for all-day comfort in the great outdoors is a solid baselayer. Unfortunately, most are tight-fitting and uninspired, made from flimsy fabrics that look like Swiss cheese after a week or two on the trail.

  Enter New Zealand-based brand, Mons Royale, born out of the Kiwi snow sports scene in the mountains above Lake Wanaka. Making merino base layers, jerseys and sweaters is what they do and it really shows.

  Just about everything in the Mons range is built around ethically and sustainably produced merino wool a fibre with so many miracle properties that only Mother Nature could have come up with it. But its Mons Royales more relaxed approach to design that really makes them stand out. Constructed for comfort and flexibility, their base layers fit like your favourite T-shirt, rather than feeling as if theyve been sprayed on.

  We love Mons Royale because its technical stuff that looks good enough to wear every day. The cuts are casual, the pastel colours are cool but muted, and the branding isnt too full-on. Take your Mons kit out for a day on the mountain, then stick the bike or climbing gear back in the van, switch the shorts for a clean pair of jeans and youre all set to go for a post-adventure beer.
