No, these trousers feature a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they will shed light rain and splashes. They are water-resistant, not fully waterproof, and may soak through in heavy or prolonged rain.
They are ideal for walking, hiking, trekking, and general outdoor activities where flexibility, comfort, and protection from light elements are important. Their stretch and durability make them great for active use on trails.
To maintain the DWR finish, wash the trousers using a technical outdoor apparel cleaner and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Re-apply a DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
The trousers are made from a recycled nylon/elastane stretch fabric blend, offering both durability and flexibility.

No, it is strongly advised to avoid using fabric softeners. They can clog the pores of the fabric and impair the effectiveness of the Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish.
Wash the trousers according to care instructions, ensuring no fabric softener is used. Tumble drying on low heat can sometimes reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, re-apply a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor fabrics.
Ensure you have selected the correct size and leg length. The articulated knee design should provide freedom of movement; if it feels tight, the size may be too small or the length incorrect. Check if the fabric is twisted or bunched.
While the fabric is abrasion-resistant, always be mindful of sharp objects or rough surfaces. Inspect the trousers for any small tears or snags promptly and repair them if possible to prevent further damage. Store them properly to avoid accidental damage.
Check the shockcord mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly. If a cord is frayed, it may need to be repaired or replaced by a professional.
Ensure you select the correct size and leg length (Short, Regular, or Long) for optimal comfort and performance. A proper fit is essential for the articulated knee design to function effectively and for unrestricted movement.
These trousers are designed to be compatible with standard hiking and walking footwear. The adjustable hems allow for a secure fit over various boot heights. They pair well with technical base layers and waterproof outer shells for a comprehensive layering system in more challenging weather.
