The Nuka Elements 3L Pants are part of our latest line of sustainably crafted premium outerwear, constructed in Estonia using the recycled fabric "STX Toulouse Rise C0" from German Sympatex. These rugged pants offer high breathability and are completely wind- and waterproof with taped seams and reinforcements in key areas.
Their clean and stylish design makes them lightweight and flexible, and their mechanical stretch provides soft and noiseless wear. All external zippers, including the leg pockets, and the ventilation zippers along the entire length of the legs, feature YKK AquaGuard® technology.
Available in unisex sizes, these pants are designed for year-round use and perform equally well in both snowy and rainy conditions. These pants are an excellent example of how environmentally friendly material choices and sustainable manufacturing go hand in hand with supreme quality and performance.
The Nuka Elements 3L Pants are a premium piece of sustainable outerwear, handmade with care in Estonia using high-quality materials sourced from Europe. These pants feature a triple-layered construction made of high-performance recycled SYMPATEX® fabric, which is both PFT and PTFE-free, making it an eco-friendly choice. The inner layer is made of soft jersey material that provides a comfortable feel and is treated with a fluorine-free water-repellent finish.
These pants are adjustable at the waist thanks to elastics and Velcro and feature side ventilation zippers that run along the entire length of the legs for added breathability. The pre-bent knees ensure greater flexibility and comfort, while the double buttons provide secure closure with one visible and one hidden.
The lower leg gaiters with elastic openings can be worn with all types of footwear, from hiking boots to alpine ski boots, and the bottom leg reinforcement protects against ski edge cuts. The pants also come with belt loops and two waterproof front pockets for added convenience.
With 2-way stretch technology, the Nuka Elements 3L Pants provide superior comfort and flexibility. The fluorine-free water-repellent finish makes them an eco-friendly choice, and the production of a Sympatex copolymer emits 50 times less CO2 compared with a PTFE polymer.

Fully taped seams with SYMPATEX® tape and YKK® AquaGuard® coil zippers on all exposed zippers ensure that no water seeps through the pants.
