These trousers offer a high level of protection against the elements thanks to their specialized membrane, though they are best suited for moderate to high-output activities rather than static, freezing conditions.

FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
They feature a 10,000mm waterproof membrane, meaning they are highly resistant to rain, but they are classified as softshell trousers rather than hard-shell waterproofs.
Can I use these for winter mountaineering?
They are ideal for autumn, spring, and moderate winter days, but for extreme, high-altitude sub-zero conditions, you may require a more insulated base layer underneath.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The trousers feature a partially elasticated waist. Refer to the size guide for your specific UK waist measurement to ensure comfort, especially if you plan to wear them over base layers.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The zipped pockets are designed to be secure for standard trail essentials, though fit may vary depending on the size of your device.
Should I iron these trousers?
Avoid ironing. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and the technical properties of the softshell fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a compatible water-repellent treatment and follow the product's activation instructions.
Feeling damp inside during heavy exertion
Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking and not cotton. While the trousers are breathable, poor base layer choice can trap sweat against the skin.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trousers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Use a mild technical cleaner or a specialized detergent for synthetic materials. Avoid traditional fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a very low heat setting.
- Re-treating: Over time, the DWR coating will lose its effectiveness. If you notice water stops beading on the surface, use a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment designed for softshell garments.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the membrane.
