DEVELOP WITH US
Over the past two years, The Last has been tested and developed by over 200 people. Based on their feedback (see here or read the comments at the bottom of this page), we have made improvements and developed the products that are in stock now.

If you are interested in helping us take these products even further, order your pants above. (Order the jacket here.) In return for your contribution we have lowered the price of the pants (full price: 750 Euro).

ONE PAIR OF PANTS FOR EVERY ACTIVITY
This project started with developing outerwear for hiking and skiing. After testing prototypes, this has evolved into creating the only pants you would need on a northern road trip. Imagine going on a trip without an agenda; you might go skiing, to the movies, climbing, hunting, cycling, sailing or just hang out in the sun. And imagine that you only have room for one pair of pants. That is what The Last will be. Many people can't imagine only having one pair of pants for every activity. We wish to challenge that misconception. Own fewer clothes and pack less. That is the essence of our philosophy.

MADE IN ORGANIC COTTON
The pants are made in legendary organic Ventile. You can read more about the fabric here. Here are a few benefits:

Wind and water resistent
Ventile is amazing in any situation. The only exception might be hours of pouring rain, but a big part of Ventile's fame comes from the its technology that keeps wind and water out. (It was originally developed for fire hoses.)

Ventilation
The fabric is relatively light and breathes very well. Unlike GoreTex, Ventile is also comfortable against the skin.

Heat resistent
With Ventile you can sit as close to the campfire as you desire. Because they are 100% cotton, the pants are very heat resistent and will not melt. They also won't catch fire easily because the fabric has such high density.

Patina
Ventile is known for its patina – it ages well. That is also a key element in our design philosophy: Timeless. We have researched pants from the past 100 years, and have reached a cut, design and color palette that won't go out of style for the next 100 years.

LIFETIME SERVICE
A huge part of reducing consumption is our Lifetime service. This means that we repair Northern Playground garments free of charge. We also help you with maintenance tips and tricks.

The Last has now been through three rounds of testing, and we are already very pleased with the result. Although, the products are still being developed, and as long as they are in this phase and sold at a lower price, we cannot give free repairs. We will share everything we know with you about care and maintanence.

KEY FEATURES

5. Extra large pocket on thigh with water repellent YKK zipper. On the inside of the pocket there is an inner pocket for a beacon with an elastic band and a hook.

7. Fitted knees with an extra layer of Ventile24 on the inside. The double layer makes the knees more durable and more water resistant. The extra layer has an opening on the top for kneepads.

11. YKK zipper for opening for wider leg openings. When fully opened the legs are 11 cm wider and can fit over large boots.

See all features under Technical details further down on the page.

DEVELOPMENT
Below is a summary of the most important updates we have made based on feedback from previous testers.

REINFORCEMENT
We have reinforced all weak points discovered during testing to ensure more durable pants. Testers also asked for less of a contrast between the color of the shoulder reinforcement and the main color of the pants, which will be implemented in the next round. Reinforced areas:

PRACTICAL
We also made some practical changes to the pants to make them more comfortable and useful. For example:
