Product Information
Full details
The Brasher Zip-Off Stretch Trousers are designed for adult females seeking versatile outdoor wear that adapts to changing conditions and offers a comfortable, durable fit. Their key benefit is the ability to convert from trousers to shorts, providing flexibility for various activities and weather. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may still penetrate. These trousers feature a stretch fabric for ease of movement, articulated knees, a DWR finish for water repellency, and multiple pockets for convenient storage.

FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, the Brasher Zip-Off Stretch Trousers feature a water-resistant DWR finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.
How do I convert the trousers to shorts?
Simply unzip the lower part of each leg at the knee. The zip is located just above the knee joint.
What material are these trousers made of?
The trousers are primarily made of Polyester, with a DWR finish for water resistance. The stretch fabric ensures comfort and flexibility.
Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the included belt is removable and can be replaced with your own or worn without one.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
They feature a total of five pockets: two front hand pockets, two standard back pockets, and one zipped back pocket for secure storage.
What is the best activity for these trousers?
These trousers are best suited for moderate outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and general travel in mild to cool weather, where the ability to convert to shorts is beneficial.
How should I wash these trousers?
Machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Iron on a low setting if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a mild soap solution. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
Water resistance seems reduced
The DWR finish may have worn off over time. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Ensure the garment is clean before reapplication.
Trousers feel restrictive
Ensure the size is correct and adjust the belt for a comfortable fit. Verify that the articulated knees are properly positioned on your legs for optimal movement.
