Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Explorer Pant is designed for adult men who need a versatile, reliable garment for outdoor adventures and everyday wear. Its key benefit lies in the combination of comfortable, articulated movement and weather-resistant technology, though users should note that the DWR finish is water-repellent rather than fully waterproof, meaning it will eventually soak through in heavy downpours.

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which sheds light rain, but they are not fully waterproof and will not protect you in heavy, prolonged rain.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

They are suitable for mild weather, but they are not insulated. You may need to wear a thermal base layer underneath if temperatures drop significantly.

What does PFA-free mean?

It means the water-repellent treatment does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often considered harmful to the environment.

How should I adjust the waist?

The trousers feature an elasticated waistband with an integrated drawstring; simply pull and tie the drawstring to achieve your desired level of tightness.

Are the pockets deep enough for a modern smartphone?

The two front pockets are designed for general utility, while the two secure zipped back pockets provide a safe, enclosed space for items like smartphones or wallets.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and re-apply a technical DWR spray, then tumble dry on low heat.

Zippers feel stiff or stuck

Check the zipper teeth for debris or fabric caught in the track. Gently remove any obstructions and ensure the zipper is clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of comfort for all-day wear
  • Excellent freedom of movement thanks to articulated design
  • Secure storage with multiple zippered pockets
  • Environmentally conscious PFA-free water repellent finish
  • Adjustable waist and hem for a precise fit

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, prolonged rain exposure
  • Limited to a specific grey colourway
  • Requires periodic re-treatment of the DWR coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trousers maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash with mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR coating.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  3. Re-treatment: Over time, water will stop beading on the surface. When this happens, apply a technical DWR re-proofer spray to restore the water-repellency.
  4. Storage: Ensure the trousers are completely dry before folding or storing to prevent mildew and fabric degradation.
