Below you can read the transcript of the video recorded by Henk-Jan Geel about the expedition materials.

‘I want to tell you this movie a little bit about the expedition pants.
These are the expedition pants I wear during the treks in arctic areas and I actually have them on from the first day to the last day.
Some features of the pants that I want to tell you and explain first of all it is a book made of gore-tex or a gore-tex like fabric.
Gore-tex-like fabric is actually a type of rain pant without a liner.
So there is no lining in it.
The lining I have in the form of long underpants or fleece underpants, but the pants themselves are not warm but they block the wind very well.
It doesn’t have to be completely waterproof, if you’re lucky we won’t encounter water just snow.
So this is the inside of the pants what are some other special features of these pants? That’s this: it has suspenders and that’s easy because if you’re moving my you don’t want to suppose that your book drops off a little bit anyway the book up you want those pants to sit the same all day.
What I also like is that there is a zipper from top to bottom, but also from bottom to top here so along the whole side of the pants legs is a zipper so you can maximize ventilation and if you have to poop then you can from the top I open up the zipper the side of the book fold away and then you can go through the knees to poop well what have I also done myself to each zipper I have done my little extension in the form of a string so that that is also better to grab with gloves on.
The knees here have knee protection elements in them.
Some kind of insulation stuff that you can also have in dungarees or what pavers have.
If I’m on my knees and I’m on my knees especially in the tent very often I don’t get a lot of pull up cold through the knees so see if you can get this in the pants you want to arrange that.
Another thing I like are large pockets on the on the thigh I have two, both left and right a large pocket and zipper from the front that can open from top to bottom as well as from bottom to top both for peeing and ventilation that is useful.
That as far as the pants are concerned.
It doesn’t have to be the nicest pants in the world as long as they are functional that’s what matters.
