BLACKYAK <BR /> Hariana Pants <BR /> Winter 2018.19

Sitting firmly in the MIDSHELL™ category the Hariana Pants use GORE WINDSTOPPER® with Rain Resistance three-layer laminate which is then upscaled with other BLACKYAK developments to create a combination of materials and construction techniques which provide unequalled performance and value.

Half leg, ventilation zippers with two way sliders are ergonomically placed to provide the wearer with excellent ventilation while avoiding billowing in strong winds. Two waist height pockets are complimented with two bellows style thigh pockets. To enhance user comfort, the BLACKYAK Hariana Pants use an innovative two point fixing system to insure that the pants always sit at the optimum height for the wearer. Waist adjustment is provided by an integrated G-Hook belt arrangement that allows quick and easy fine tuning.
At the ankle area, YAK abrasion panels in KEVLAR® provide protection against ski edge cuts and boot rub. Internally an integrated snow gaiter insures that the elements stay on the outside.

Powerful and majestic, the Yak moves continuously up the mountain. Fully loaded with expedition material, these animals are used to strain and hard work. Their robust form has enabled them to survive the ice age, continuing under the most arduous conditions. They live in the Himalayan Mountains. Yak’s also benefit people in many ways. They give wool, milk, and meat. They are perfect for riding or transporting large and heavy loads. It is effectively the Sherpa of Sherpa’s. The best friend of the mountain climber. For these reasons, BlackYak has chosen the Yak as a namesake and company logo. It symbolizes the connection with the mountain climbers, the Yaks, the mountains, nature. BlackYak was founded in 1973 in Seoul / South Korea. The company aim was to make the climbing process easier for mountaineers by providing them with the best possible clothing and product. In short, BlackYak seeks to be just as valuable a companion to mountaineers as the Yaks. The development work of BlackYak benefit ambitious mountaineers, ski tourers and hikers. They all value the functional clothing of BlackYak, which offers them protection against cold, wet and wind. South Korea is the second largest outdoor market in the world. As domestic market leader BlackYak’s growth continues.
