FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are wind-resistant and quick-drying, but they are not fully waterproof, so they may need a shell layer in heavy downpours.
Can I use these for winter climbing?
They are designed for lightweight, high-energy mountain use. For extreme winter conditions, you may need a thermal base layer underneath.
How should I clean them?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle without fabric softener to protect the performance fibers.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they follow standard sizing, but because they are designed for active movement, we recommend checking your measurements.
Do they provide UV protection?
The dense weave of the fabric offers basic protection from the sun, but it is not specifically treated as a sun-blocking garment.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure all detergent is rinsed out completely; buildup can make the fabric feel stiff. Avoid using heavy-duty laundry soaps.
Water beads are no longer forming on the surface
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing. You can apply a garment-specific re-proofer spray after a clean wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Torrek Lite Trousers remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trousers are designed with a technical fit. Ensure you verify your measurements against the size chart to guarantee the articulated knees align correctly with your joints.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can compromise the wind-resistant and quick-dry treatments.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a machine, select a low heat setting to prevent damage to the technical fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fabric dyes and material strength.
