Casual comfort and technical performance

Using an integrated Japanese fabric-insulation-stitching system, the Free Padded Shorts are possibly the most comfortable mid-layer we have ever created. A stretchable, breathable and lightweight padding is wrapped in a stretchable, breathable and water-resistant fabric, providing the perfect combination of technical performance and contemporary styling. Use them as a mid-layer under your shell pants when freeriding or as a stand-alone garment for travelling or on down days.

The Free System™ has an oversized fit, designed to be worn baggy. If you prefer a more regular fit — consider sizing down.

Technical Specifications

performance
  • Warm, stretchable, breathable, water-resistant, and extremely comfortable.
  • Use them as a technical mid-layer or as a relaxed stand-alone garment.
  • Relaxed fit with contemporary styling.

An instant hit with our staff and team, the Free Padded Shorts are incredibly comfortable and versatile. Using a newly developed Japanese technology that integrates insulation, fabric and even stitching provides a surprisingly useful combination of stretchable coziness and technical performance. The padding is made from four types of spiral-shaped fibres that are intertwined to achieve superior stretchability and volume. The outer fabric is DWR-treated for water resistance.

Use them as a highly technical mid-layer over a base-layer, under a shell, and they will deliver lightweight, breathable warmth and unlimited freedom of movement. Or just wear them all the time — when travelling, commuting or just lounging about — that’s what we do.
