FAQs

What type of activities are these trousers best suited for?

They are ideal for hiking, walking, cycling, and general outdoor adventures. Their stretch, durability, and water-repellent features make them versatile for various pursuits.

Are these trousers waterproof?

The trousers are water-shedding, meaning they can repel light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may not offer protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.

What material are the trousers made from?

They are made from a durable stretch fabric blend of 94% polyamide and 6% elastane.

How do I choose the right leg length?

The trousers are available in short, regular, and long leg lengths. It's recommended to measure your inside leg or compare with your current trousers to select the best fit.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

These trousers are best suited for mild to moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, consider layering with thermal base layers underneath.

How should I clean and maintain the trousers?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.

What does PFAS Compliant mean?

It means the product is manufactured using materials that adhere to regulations concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often used in waterproof coatings but are subject to environmental scrutiny.

Troubleshooting

Water-shedding properties seem reduced.

This can happen over time. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor clothing after washing. Avoid fabric softeners during washing.

Trousers feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretch fabric offers flexibility, but if the initial fit is too snug, consider a size up. Adjust the shock cord at the hem for a slightly different feel.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper track. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.

Seams feel uncomfortable during activity.

Ensure the trousers are worn with appropriate undergarments. For extended wear, consider moisture-wicking base layers. Check for any loose threads inside the garment that might be causing irritation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric and articulated knees.
  • Durable construction with reinforced elements for longevity.
  • Practical storage with multiple secure zipped pockets.
  • Comfortable and soft feel against the skin.
  • Water-repellent properties for light weather protection.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for light to moderate weather conditions; may not be suitable for heavy downpours.
  • The fit is described as slim but not tight, which might not suit everyone's preference.
  • Specific sizing (UK 8) means users must verify measurements for best fit.
  • Limited insulation for very cold weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure you have selected the correct leg length (short, regular, or long) for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed for women's UK size 8. The unisex nature of outdoor wear means they are suitable for a wide range of activities including hiking, walking, cycling, and general outdoor exploration. They pair well with waterproof jackets and hiking boots.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of the trousers:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent properties of the fabric.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  5. Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting if necessary. Avoid ironing directly on any printed details or reinforced areas.
