Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does the 8000 MM water column mean?
It represents the hydrostatic head measurement, indicating the fabric can withstand the pressure of an 8000mm tall column of water before moisture begins to penetrate the surface.
Can I put these trousers in the dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry the trousers to preserve the integrity of the technical coating and the fabric construction.
What is the e.dye Waterless Color System?
It is a sustainable manufacturing process that colors the polyester yarn during the extrusion stage, significantly reducing water and chemical consumption compared to traditional piece-dyeing.
Are these trousers true to size?
They follow standard UK waist sizing. As the fabric is a structured stretch canvas, it provides a consistent fit throughout the day.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
While they offer wind and water resistance, they are primarily designed as a technical urban or light outdoor trouser and may not provide enough insulation for extreme cold without a base layer.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the surface
The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Consider using a technical wash-in re-waterproofing product compatible with polyester fabrics.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a liquid detergent rather than powder, and double-rinse the garment to ensure no residue is left in the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trousers utilize a technical fabric with a water-resistant treatment, proper care is essential to preserve their functionality. It is recommended to wash the garment inside out, using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can interfere with the water-resistant finish. Do not bleach or tumble dry at high temperatures. Given the specific waist sizing, ensure you measure accurately according to standard UK sizing before purchase, as the technical nature of the fabric provides a structured fit that does not stretch significantly over time.
