After the positive experience with the Escape II and III Escape pants we were only disappointed by these pants. The material is so thin that it is worn through along the edge of the seam sealing tapes after a few weeks. The so-called. "Reinforcements" are compared to Cordura with Escape II / III a joke. The Escape II is already supported by the 2nd child of the Escape IV a child has already worn THREE. And of course, the same price as Escape II. In addition, the Escape IV has no pockets, mainly in the forest kindergarten is a shortcoming because nothing can be transported.
Conclusion: For children who are only in the rain, it is therefore a super pants, waterproof, breathable and everything. Only when they move it faster than a broken outdoor trousers from discounters.
I can only hope that Vaude learns from the many returns and the Escape V (or whatever hot a successor model) again is significantly better.
