what we think
At Valley and Peak, we’ve had the chance to test the Enlightened Equipment Men's Copperfield Wind Pants during trail running in the Peak District and on the Cleveland Way, and they’ve proven to be an excellent choice for added protection on cold mornings.
These pants are designed to offer great wind resistance while remaining breathable, making them ideal for running in windy conditions or during early starts when temperatures are cooler. The fabric is ultralight and packs down incredibly small, so they’re easy to stash in a pack or pocket when not in use, without adding unnecessary weight.
The Copperfield Wind Pants run half a size up, which allows for a more comfortable, natural fit and gives you enough room to layer over base layers or activewear. This extra room enhances comfort and mobility, making them perfect for high-output activities like trail running. The pants feature an elastic waistband and adjustable cuffs, which help them stay in place without restricting movement. The soft, smooth fabric is comfortable for extended wear, whether you're running on the trail or hiking in breezy conditions.
During our testing, we found these wind pants to be highly effective at blocking wind and providing light weather protection. They were especially useful on cold mornings, offering extra warmth and protection before the temperature warmed up. While they also provide some resistance to light rain, they aren’t designed for heavy downpours. The Copperfield Wind Pants excel at providing just the right amount of protection without overheating, making them perfect for trail running and long-distance hikes in unpredictable weather.
Overall, the Copperfield Wind Pants are a fantastic option for anyone seeking lightweight, breathable, and packable wind protection. While they may not be suited for extreme cold or heavy rain, they’re ideal for 3-season trail running or hiking when wind and light weather protection are essential. Their ability to pack down small and weigh so little makes them a great addition to any outdoor gear setup. -
