Full details
The Brasher Women's Zip-Off Stretch Trousers in Blue are designed for adult females seeking versatile outdoor wear. Their key benefit is the ability to convert from trousers to shorts, offering adaptability for changing weather and activities.

FAQs
How do I convert the trousers to shorts?
Locate the zip at the knee area on each leg. Carefully unzip them completely to remove the lower leg sections, converting them into shorts.
Are these trousers suitable for heavy rain?
The trousers have a water-resistant DWR finish, which is effective against light showers and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy rainfall.
What material are the trousers made from?
The trousers are made from a stretch fabric, primarily Nylon, designed for comfort and durability during outdoor activities.
Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the trousers come with a removable belt that can be adjusted or taken off as per your preference.
How should I clean the trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.
What is the benefit of articulated knees?
Articulated knees are designed to allow for a greater range of movement, preventing the fabric from pulling and restricting your motion when bending or climbing.
How do I maintain the water-resistant properties?
To maintain water resistance, avoid fabric softeners during washing and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, following the product's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Zips are stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the zips are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the zip teeth. Avoid forcing the zip.
Water resistance is reduced.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash the trousers and then consider applying a new DWR proofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Trousers feel restrictive.
Ensure the belt is not over-tightened and check that the articulated knees are positioned correctly for your stride. Confirm the correct size has been selected.
Pockets are not secure enough.
Utilise the zipped back pocket for valuable items. Consider using a small waterproof pouch for electronics if extra security is needed.
