Mello Tech Tights are the tougher sibling of our bestselling Mello tights — built for days when you're climbing, scrambling, or sliding through grit without worrying what your kit can handle. Same comfort, breathability and stretch, but with added confidence-inspiring protection panels for when it matters most.

For Wild Ground and Hard Use

  • Strong, comfortable protection on seat and knees for added confidence on rock

  • Made for movement from a four-way high-stretch that performs like a second skin

  • Two thigh stash pockets + zipped rear for secure storage

  • Deep waistband with internal drawcord for a stable, comfortable fit

Comfortable. Durable. Fuss-free.
Made for hard use on rocky ground, the Tech version of Mello adds a comfortable ripstop protection on the seat and knee. They shrug off gritstone, heather, rough trails and the odd awkward belay — without feeling stiff or bulky.

They're close-fitting but not restrictive, giving you full freedom of movement whether you're crossing boulder fields, hauling over a crux, or just clocking up long miles on your feet. The waistband is soft, deep and stable, staying put under harnesses and hip-belts.

Trail Tested and Trusted

"So comfortable and durable! Worn for scrambling and hiking in the Lake District and they held up brilliantly. No snagging on rocks or brambles.” – Sarah B.

“Fantastic tights — great fit, tough fabric. The reinforced knees and bum are ideal for climbing or crawling over rough terrain.” – Louise

“Love the deep waistband, really supportive. They feel secure and warm but not sweaty. My go-to tights for big walks and scrambling.” – Laura M.

Lower Impact by Design
Made in sweat-shop free factories from long-lasting fabrics, reinforced in the high-wear zones and built to go the distance. And when the time eventually comes, return them for repair or recycling through our Continuum project.

Reducing our carbon footprint

Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
