FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which makes them water-resistant against light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.
Are they suitable for winter hiking?
They are designed for high-energy activities and are wind-resistant, but they lack heavy insulation. They are best suited for layering in cooler weather rather than extreme cold.
What is the primary material used?
The trousers are constructed from durable, lightweight nylon.
Do they provide sun protection?
Yes, they provide UPF 50+ shielding, protecting your skin from UV rays.
How should I clean them?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners and avoid tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a technical DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Fabric snagging on rough rocks or branches
While the fabric is durable, avoid direct contact with sharp, jagged surfaces. If a small tear occurs, use a specialized gear repair patch to prevent it from fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Torrek Lite Trousers, it is important to follow proper care protocols. Always wash in cool water on a gentle cycle, preferably using a mild technical detergent designed for synthetic fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish from the nylon material. For drying, hang-drying in a shaded, well-ventilated area is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric's protective coating. These trousers are compatible with most base layers if extra warmth is needed, and their slim-profile design fits well under waterproof overtrousers if conditions turn severe.
