Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the drawcord waist and hem adjustments are set to your preferred fit before heading out.
Compatibility: The Hillwalker 2.0 Pant is designed as outerwear for hiking and outdoor activities. It is compatible with most hiking boots and can be worn over base layers or thermal leggings in colder conditions.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash using a permanent press cycle at 40°C (104°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Berghaus recommends avoiding powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can impede the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. Berghaus suggests an extra rinse cycle to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Remove while still slightly damp, then hang to dry completely.
- Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, iron on a medium heat setting (without steam) after drying, or use a specialized GORE-TEX fabric re-proofer spray according to product instructions.
