FAQs
What type of activities are these pants best suited for?
These pants are ideal for a range of mountain activities including climbing, via ferrata, multi-day treks, hiking, and scrambling. Their design prioritizes mobility and durability on challenging terrain.
Are these pants waterproof?
The Torque Mountain Pants are constructed from a softshell fabric that offers wind resistance and a degree of water repellency, making them suitable for most weather conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be sufficient for prolonged heavy rain.
How do I adjust the fit around my boots?
There is a zippered gusset at the bottom of each leg. Opening this zipper allows you to widen the leg opening to accommodate different types of footwear, from approach shoes to hiking boots.
Can I wear a base layer underneath?
Yes, the pants are designed to accommodate a base layer for added warmth in colder conditions. The straight cut and articulated design generally allow for this without significant restriction.
What is the material made of?
The pants are crafted from tough, dry Matrix™ softshell fabric, which is known for its stretchability, flexibility, and durability.
How should I clean and maintain the pants?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Reapply DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.
Troubleshooting
Stiff or restricted leg movement
Ensure the pants are the correct size and not too tight. Check that the articulated knees and crotch gusset are not being impeded by other clothing layers.
Fabric feels less water-repellent
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the pants thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR finish according to the product instructions.
Waistband feels insecure
Tighten the partially elasticated waistband with the snap closure. For a more secure fit, use a belt with the provided belt loops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These pants require no specific setup; simply put them on and adjust the waistband using the partially elasticated feature and snap closure, or use a belt with the provided loops for a more customized fit. The leg zippers can be opened to accommodate different footwear.
Compatibility: The Torque Mountain Pants are designed to be compatible with a wide range of mountain footwear, from light approach shoes to sturdy hiking boots, thanks to the adjustable leg gussets. They can be layered with base layers for added warmth in colder conditions.
Care: To maintain the performance of the Matrix™ softshell fabric, it is recommended to machine wash the pants on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.

Periodically re-waterproof the fabric using a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to ensure continued protection against moisture.
