FAQs

Are these pants waterproof?

No, these pants feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which protects against light rain and showers, causing water to bead off. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for heavy or prolonged exposure to rain.

How do I clean the pants?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Reapply DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.

What is FlashDry technology?

FlashDry is a fabric technology used by The North Face that accelerates drying time and improves breathability, helping to wick moisture away from the skin to keep you comfortable.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

Yes, the lightweight nylon stretch fabric and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for warm weather. However, they are also designed to layer for cooler conditions.

What is the fit like?

The pants feature a regular front and back rise, a relaxed thigh, and a tapered ankle, offering a comfortable and functional fit for active movement.

How should I care for the DWR finish?

To maintain the DWR finish, avoid fabric softeners and high heat when drying. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment using a spray or wash-in product as per the treatment's instructions.

Troubleshooting

Pants feel tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The relaxed thigh and tapered ankle provide a specific fit; consider if a different size or model might better suit your body type and intended use.

Water repellency is decreasing

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish naturally diminishes with use and washing. Reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions to restore water resistance.

Pockets seem small for items

The leg pockets are designed for secure storage of essentials like phones or maps. For larger items, consider using a backpack or hip pack.
