WOMEN’S KARPOS FEDERA TIGHT Black/india Ink

Karpos Federa are women’s technical tights made from a breathable polyamide and elastane blend, designed for winter hiking and mountain running in cold conditions. The soft, lightweight fabric adapts perfectly to the body while maintaining an optimal body temperature during high-intensity activities on snow.

What conditions and activities are they designed for?

They are in the mid-range category of technical clothing for winter outdoor activities. They are designed for recreational and experienced athletes for trail running, fast hiking and winter ascents. Their construction is adapted to intensive movement in cold weather and on snowy trails, where the combination of thermal insulation and rapid moisture wicking is key.

Key features and material

• Main material: The composition of 85 % polyamide and 15 % elastane ensures high breathability and quick drying during exertion.
• Mesh panels: Strategically placed mesh (75 % polyamide, 25 % elastane) further improves ventilation in key areas.
• Low weight: At just 230 g, the tights do not weigh down your legs and allow for a light stride over long distances.
• Practical pocket: A centrally positioned rear zipped pocket safely stores keys, an energy gel or a small phone.
• Reflective details: Reflectors on the back increase visibility and safety when running at dusk or in low-light conditions.

In use

During intense mountain running in the winter months, the breathable fabric quickly wicks sweat away from the skin, helping to prevent chilling during short stops or descents.

On snowy hiking trails, the stretchy material and close-fitting cut follow every body movement without restricting your stride on steep climbs.

On hikes lasting several hours, the elasticated waistband with an integrated drawcord keeps the tights securely in place and prevents them from slipping down, while the rear pocket provides quick access to essential items.

Cut and fit

The tights have a close-fitting cut (Body Fit) that fits snugly against the body and acts like a second skin. This anatomical design reduces air resistance and optimises the thermal efficiency of the material.

The elasticated waistband with logo and adjustable drawcord allows you to adjust the fit, ensuring stability when running and walking.
