Full details
The Brasher Stretch Trousers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and functional outdoor wear for activities like hiking and trekking. Their key benefit is offering excellent freedom of movement and protection from light moisture, thanks to articulated knees and a DWR finish. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. These trousers feature a durable yet lightweight blend of polyamide and elastane, an adjustable webbing belt, and multiple pockets for secure storage.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for heavy rain?
No, these trousers have a water-resistant DWR finish, meaning they can repel light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and would not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What material are the trousers made of?
The trousers are made from a blend of 94% Polyamide and 6% Elastane, providing durability, stretch, and comfort.
Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the adjustable webbing belt is removable and can be replaced with your own belt if preferred.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Consider your usual waist size. The part-elasticated waist and adjustable webbing belt offer some flexibility for fine-tuning the fit for comfort.
What activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are recommended for hiking and trekking, but are also suitable for general outdoor activities and casual wear where comfort and freedom of movement are desired.
How should I wash these trousers to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid bleach.
Troubleshooting
Belt is difficult to adjust
Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the snap buckle. If it feels stiff, try manipulating the webbing while pressing the buckle release.
Water repellency has decreased
The DWR finish may need replenishing. Consider using a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel. Avoid fabric softeners during washing.
Trousers feel restrictive during extreme movement
While designed for flexibility, ensure the size is correct. Check that the part-elasticated waist is not overly tightened. For very demanding activities, consider specialized hiking pants with greater stretch.
Zipper on back pocket is stiff
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
