Description
Viking Evolution Tempest Unlimited Pants | Viking
Key Features
- Designed for all seasons with comfortand durability in mind. Waterproof /breathable 4-way stretch patented fabricmoves with your body, offeringunparalleled flexibility while keeping youdry and cool at the same time
- 200D Trilobal Ripstop polyester withPU backing to withstand rips, punctures,and snags
- Pants are mesh lined at key stress points,allowing a greater range of motion andenhancing breathability
- Double sewn, taped, and heat sealedseams for superior waterproof protection
Technology
- V-TECH technology is a complete protectivemembrane, designed with continuousmicroscopic pores which allow heat vapor toescape while preventing water molecules frompenetrating through the garment
- Waterproof/Breathable rating of 12,000 mm; 12,000 g/m2/24 hours breathable
- Trilobal triple twined polyester thread creates a cross section of fibres at regular intervals to form cells. These cells significantly increase the tensile strength of the garment over regular knit fabrics; effectively preventing tears from expanding to the next cell; while increaing the cut and abrasion resistance of the garment
Ideal
- Camping
- Mountain climbing
- Hiking and exploration
- Canoeing and sailing
- Forestry and logging: Ripstop polyester and PU backing suit abrasive, branch-laden terrain while maintaining waterproofing.
- Construction sites: Knee pad access, boot zips, and cargo pockets support trade tasks and tool carriage on-site.
- Utility and maintenance work: Breathable membrane and seam-sealed construction help during extended outdoor repairs.
- Marine and transportation: Waterproofing and taped seams reduce water ingress during wet deck and dock activities.
- Equipment operators: Wear the pants for weather protection and unrestricted movement while operating machinery.
- Maintenance technicians: Use boot zips and cargo pockets to access tools and perform on-site fixes.
- Field technicians: Layer under or over base garments and use the adjustable waist for varied climates.
- Forestry workers: Benefit from ripstop construction where abrasion resistance is essential.
- Emergency responders: Choose breathable, quick-drying gear for extended outdoor deployments.
- Wet construction shift: Pants + hi-viz rain jacket + safety boots + waterproof gloves

- Feature needs like boot zips, cargo pocket, and kneepad pocket
More Info
Product Category for Primary Application
The Viking Evolution Tempest Unlimited Pants are waterproof pants designed for outdoor workers and recreational users who need breathable, durable weather protection and freedom of movement.
Industry Applications and Professional Use
Forestry and Logging
Forestry workers typically use these waterproof pants in wet, rugged terrain to manage moisture while retaining abrasion resistance and mobility.
Construction Sites
Construction workers commonly wear these pants during changing weather and long shifts to stay comfortable with layered clothing and access to a kneepad pocket.
Utilities and Maintenance
Field technicians and maintenance crews often choose the Tempest pants for on-site repairs where boot zips and cargo pockets speed access to tools and equipment.
Oil & Gas and Industrial
Workers in oil & gas and heavy industries generally use seam-sealed, PU-backed outerwear to help manage wet exposures and abrasion-prone tasks.
Transportation and Marine
Maritime and transportation teams commonly rely on the waterproof membrane and taped seams for wet deck work, canoeing, sailing, and dock operations.
Emergency Services
Emergency responders typically use breathable, quick-drying outer layers during prolonged outdoor incidents and variable weather conditions.
Technical Specifications and Product Features
Understanding Product Standards
These waterproof pants combine a V-TECH technology membrane with a PU-backed 200D Trilobal ripstop polyester to balance waterproofing and breathability for active work.
What does the 12,000 mm / 12,000 g/m2/24 hours rating mean?
The 12,000 mm rating indicates a high level of waterproofing under standard test conditions while the 12,000 g/m2/24h value describes moisture vapor transmission for breathability during activity.
| Specification | What It Means | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| V-TECH technology; 12,000 mm / 12,000 g/m2/24h | Waterproof/breathable membrane with microscopic pores | Helps shed water while allowing moisture vapor to escape during activity |
| 200D Trilobal ripstop polyester with PU backing | Durable fabric with PU layer for water resistance and tear containment | Increases abrasion resistance and resists punctures and snags on rough terrain |
| Mesh-lined stress points, double layer, kneepad pocket, boot zips | Design features for mobility, padding access, and footwear compatibility | Allows knee protection insertion, easy boot access, and extended range of motion |
| Double sewn, taped and heat sealed seams | Seam construction that reduces water ingress at joins | Enhances overall waterproofing across panels and closures |
Use Case Scenarios and Applications
Outdoor Work in Changing Weather
Workers use these pants for year-round tasks where weather shifts demand breathable waterproofing and 4-way stretch for mobility.
Seasonal and Expedition Use
Hikers and climbers commonly select the Tempest pants for multi-season trips where weight, ripstop durability, and moisture vapor transmission matter.
Daily Use on Wet Jobsites
Field crews often wear the pants over base layers and adjust the toggle waist for comfort during full-shift outdoor work.
Marine and Water-Adjacent Tasks
Marine workers usually value the sealed seams and waterproof membrane for exposure to spray and light immersion during deck operations.

Key Evaluation Factors
Limitations and Alternative Considerations
This product may not suit specialized electrical work that requires certified dielectric protection; consider class-specific protective trousers where required. All Safety can assist with alternative technical outerwear and offers standard, expedited, or overnight shipping to support procurement timelines.
Daily Use and Maintenance
Workplace Integration
When worn year-round, the pants generally perform well over base layers and allow workers to adjust fit with the toggle waist and boot zips per manufacturer instructions.
How do I adjust the fit for layering?
Adjust the toggle waist to accommodate base layers and use the 4-way stretch to preserve mobility; boot zips help when putting the pants on over boots.
When should I inspect or replace these pants?
Inspect seams, zips, and fabric per manufacturer instructions and replace garments when waterproofing or structural integrity noticeably declines or after irreparable damage.
Care and Cleaning
Follow manufacturer instructions for gentle machine or hand wash and full drying; avoid treatments that may reduce membrane performance to maintain moisture vapor transmission and waterproofing.
