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


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.

Ideal Applications and Work Environments

Where This Product Category Excels

• 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.

Professional Applications

Workers Who Rely on This Equipment

• 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.

Complete Safety Equipment Solutions

Complementary Safety Gear

These waterproof pants work alongside hi-viz vests, safety boots, rain jackets, and gloves to create a layered, functional outer system for outdoor work.

Recommended Equipment Combinations

• Wet construction shift: Pants + hi-viz rain jacket + safety boots + waterproof gloves
• Forestry patrol: Pants + abrasion-resistant outer jacket + safety boots
• Marine operations: Pants + waterproof jacket + deck boots

Selection Guide and Product Suitability

When to Choose This Product

Choose these waterproof pants for active outdoor work requiring breathable protection, abrasion resistance, and kneepad access during long shifts.

Key Evaluation Factors

• Required waterproof rating and breathability for task duration
• Durability needs such as ripstop PU backing and trilobal thread
• Fit needs including 4-way stretch and adjustable waist for layering
• Feature needs like boot zips, cargo pocket, and kneepad pocket

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.
