Our latest generation of outdoor pants: The Wanderbux II

We have reinvented our Wanderbux! After many years of field use, we reassessed all the details and developed a whole new generation of our robust yet lightweight outdoor pants. Especially during hut-to-hut tours in rough terrain, you can't have too much freedom of movement. That's why the Wanderbux II uses a well-measured amount of durable 4-way stretch from the European quality producer IBQ, and only where it truly has a noticeable effect. This significantly increases freedom of movement, while maintaining the "rugged" look of the waxed fabric blend (and thus its everyday appeal).

Whether for hiking, camping, bushcraft, hunting, fishing, or just for leisure—the Wanderbux is incredibly versatile. Its comfortable fit allows for great mobility, and the outer pockets (two open front pockets, and two flat, zippered side pockets) provide space for gear.

The knee section is ergonomically shaped, and the Velcro strip at the hem allows for individual adjustment of the leg width. Our belt loops accommodate belts up to 4 cm wide, such as the "Unverwüstling" leather belt or the "Cargo" belt. The pants are fastened with a metal zipper and metal button. The leg circumference can be reduced with a Velcro strap at the hem, which is extremely helpful when cycling on gravel or mountain bikes, as the pant leg is less likely to get caught in the chainring.

The Wanderbux is delivered with a pre-stitched leg length but can be easily adjusted to the perfect individual length either by yourself or by any tailor at a small cost. The Velcro strap is specifically placed so that it can be easily repositioned. After all, there's nothing better than a well-fitting pair of pants for hiking!

The optimal fabric for summer outdoor pants

Polycotton combines the benefits of cotton and polyester. The fabric is light and airy and has the pleasant feel of cotton, but it is also strong and durable, as expected from outdoor clothing. It dries quickly in the air and is resistant to UV radiation. In the warm season, this high-quality material combination also offers another important advantage: it is breathable and very comfortable to wear in warm temperatures. Additionally, polycotton is machine washable up to 40°C without any issues.

Even within this material category, there is a wide range from cheap to high-quality, long-lasting options made from fine yarns and with a uniform, dense weave. We use selected quality polycotton and matching, equally high-quality threads from the company Amann.

PFC-free water-repellent pre-impregnation

The fabric is water-repellent thanks to a PFC-free impregnation. PFC-free impregnations are environmentally friendly because they do not leave non-degradable residues in nature. However, they need to be refreshed occasionally. We recommend re-impregnating with a wax block and heat, such as our Dr. Gees impregnation wax. The wax is simply rubbed onto the fabric like an eraser, then melted into the fabric with a low-heat iron. This process takes a few minutes and can be repeated as often as needed. This additional water protection is especially useful before embarking on tours.
By the way: Every impregnation affects the breathability of a fabric. For instance, if you only want protection against wet grass in the morning dew, it makes sense to apply the impregnation only to the lower leg areas to maintain maximum breathability. On longer trekking tours, you may prefer full impregnation for maximum rain protection. The beauty of waxing is that you can decide for yourself based on the conditions what makes the most sense.

What to expect from waxed fabrics

There is a lot of misinformation and some misunderstandings about waxed fabrics, also known as waxed cotton, waxcotton, or waxed polycotton. We explain more about what these fabrics can do in our STEINKAUZ-Blog.

How to measure correctly

Waist size
Take a measuring tape and first measure your waist. Measure at the line where you wear your belt. The tape should rest loosely without tension, and you can have a shirt underneath, as it will potentially be tucked into the pants later. If you don't have a measuring tape, you can use a string, mark it, and then compare it to a ruler.

Inseam length
Measure from the crotch to the top of your foot, ending about 2-3 cm above the ground.
