Belstaff Long Way Up Charley Boorman Pants In Dark Olive

For Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman’s recent Long Way Up odyssey, Belstaff created an entirely new collection of protective wear. Ewan rode in wax cotton and leather, but for Charley the company created a truly, high-end, technical adventure suit. You can find details of the amazing LWU jacket on the website; but this is the matching lower half.
It’s got a Gore-Tex, 3-layer, Pro Shell chassis, Level 2 D3O armour in the hips and knees, Superfabric at the knees, copious venting, numerous pockets, waterproof zips, suede panels up the inside of the legs, an anti-slip panel on the seat and more adjusters than you can shake a stick at.
For a more detailed description, you should watch our video review of the full LWU suit that covers all the details of the jacket and the pants. The suit that Belstaff has created is truly exceptional, and although the company has few credentials at this end of the market, they have gone to all the best people to make this suit as good as it could be. They have selected the best materials and have entrusted the manufacture to the very best factories in the business.
