5 First impressions: When Stromberg, based in Huddersfield, launched their new Wintra trouser we were keen to get a few pairs sent to NCG towers for testing.
Straightaway you could tell they were a high quality product with a really smart look and design. They had a nice tailored feel once you put them on.
They feel halfway between a pair of normal trousers and a pair of waterproof trousers but are not overly heavy or noisy so seem fine to wear on and off the golf course or even out for a walk on a cold drizzly day.
The Tech: The trousers feature fabric with three layers – all doing a specific job to keep you dry and warm.
The outer layer offers a stylish appearance with a water resistant finish.
The middle layer acts as a breathable waterproof membrane preventing water getting through the fabric.
The inside layer acts as a thermal layer to keep you warm.
Stromberg say the Wintra trouser has been designed specifically to be an alternative to waterproof over trousers – allowing you to go from the course to clubhouse.
“As a keen golfer myself I wanted the trouser to be the ultimate winter trouser, it needed to keep golfers dry, warm, be breathable but also act as a windproof. The feedback that we have had to date has been fantastic,” said director Richard Taylor.
NCG Verdict:
Personally, I have now tested the Wintra trousers over three rounds in very similar conditions – cold and a bit drizzly.
I have to say each time the trousers have performed fantastically well in the conditions which the trousers were specifically made for.
I am not a fan of putting another pair of trousers over the top of my existing ones when the rain starts coming down.
So when caught in a shower wearing a pair of Wintras you feel confident that they will keep you perfectly dry.
