FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
They feature a non-PFC-DWR finish, which makes them water-repellent, meaning they resist light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.
Are they suitable for winter hiking?
These are generally designed for warmer, three-season use. They do not offer significant thermal insulation for extreme winter conditions.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Does the material have stretch?
Yes, the pants are crafted from a lightweight stretch fabric designed for comfort and mobility.
Do the pants have zippered pockets?
The model features two open back pockets, which are convenient for quick access to non-valuable items.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent treatment spray.
Buckle at the hem feels loose or slips.
Ensure the fabric is folded neatly before snapping the buckle to ensure a secure lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Exploration Pants, use the integrated belt and robust loops to find your optimal fit before setting out on your hike. When it comes to care, machine wash the pants in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating and decrease the water-repellent effectiveness over time. Always air dry when possible, or use a low-heat setting in the dryer. Periodically re-applying a technical DWR spray can help maintain the water-shedding properties of the nylon fabric after frequent use and washing.
