The Ziplongs® Padded are a fleece long-john with incorporated padding in the knees and bottom. The padding provides extra warmth and comfort. Just as important: It has zippers on each side that make it easy to put on and take off without removing your pants and shoes.
Ziplongs® Padded can be used as a base layer against your skin, as a mid-layer or outside your pants. The zippers make it possible to take off the pants and put them back on without removing your shoes.
The padding in the knees and bottom is made with Ariaprene, a 4mm thick water-repellant, quick-drying and flexible rubber and foam material. The padding can be easily removed from it's pockets, and can be taken out and put in as needed. Without the padding you will lose some of the isolation-ability, but it also gives you a cooling effect and more flexibility.
The Ziplongs® Padded was originally developed for sailing as it is perfect under pants or shorts. But we have come to find that people use them just as much for many other acitivities: fishing, alpine skiing, kayaking and all other situations where you can get cold and spend some time on your butt.
We manufacture our products in Lithuania. We do this to ensure quality and to reduce carbon emissions during production. In addition, all "parts" of our products are from European suppliers (except the raw wool which is imported from South Africa and South America).European production is not cheap, but you get in return a product with fewer travel miles and long shelf life.
Please use the product until it is used up.
Material: The main fabric in Ziplongs® Padded is recycled fleece from Pontetorto. Pontetorto uses Newlife yarns, which are based on recycled, Italian plastic bottles. The fabric also has the internationally recognised Bluesign Certification.
On laundry day: Remember – wash as little as possible to spare both the product and the environment. If you spill on the garment, quickly remove the spillage with a damp cloth or under running water before it stains.
All parts of this product can be washed at 40C degrees, but we recommend taking out the padding. That way you have more room in the amchine and the product will last longer. Remember to wash with similar colors to avoid discoloration. Dark fabrics easily stain lighter fabrics when wet. Use organic detergent without enzyms like Sonett or Klar. Enzymes wear on the fibers in the product and can result in a loss in elasticity and durability. Because of this we don't recommend using fabric softener either.
Ziplongs® can be adjusted to weather conditions. If desired, you can adjust the zipper to provide a smaller opening so that you can ventilate exactly the area you want. If you want further cooling, fold the longs up and under the boxer. This, combined with an opening in the shell trousers can give you exactly the cooling you need on your legs. Alternatively, remove the stillongs completely. When it gets too cold: zip again!
Ziplongs® 3/4 or Ziplongs® long?
¾ length fits better with the ski boots, hunting boots and other high shoes. You just have to remember long socks. It is also easier to put on and take off, because you only need to zip down to the lower leg.
Full length , on the other hand, ensures that there is no bare skin on the leg if you prefer to wear short socks and shoes, for example when cross-country skiing or hiking.
To use Ziplongs® is to dress in a new way. To help you put it on correctly, we have developed a set of color codes:
1. Different zip color for each leg to distinguish right from left.
2. The inside seam in the waist has its own color to separate up and down.
Ziplongs® is a stillongs that is designed for use all year round and on all kinds of trips. With this, we want to challenge the way we consume clothes, and encourage everyone to buy fewer garments and garments that can be used for all occasions. So instead of selling different lungs for different activities, we encourage you to use this one for everything. If you are going to climb Store Skagastølstind or sled with the children, you do not need more than one stillongs in the closet.
