FAQs
Are these pants suitable for winter hiking?
These pants are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn. In very cold conditions, you may need to layer leggings underneath.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the pants are made from a lightweight stretch fabric designed to move with your body.
Are the pockets zippered?
The front has a zippered closure for the fly, but the back pockets are open-style pockets for easy access.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, they can be machine washed in cold water; avoid softeners to protect the water-repellent coating.
What does non-PFC-DWR mean?
It means the Durable Water Repellent coating is free from perfluorinated compounds, which are better for the environment.
Do these pants run true to size?
They feature a regular cut; if you are between sizes or prefer a snug fit, you may want to consult the specific size chart provided.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a DWR-restoring spray, then tumble dry on low to reactivate.
Hem buckle is difficult to latch.
Check the buckle tracks for debris or dried mud and rinse with clean water to ensure the mechanism moves freely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Exploration Pants, use a standard belt to secure the waist, as the belt loops are designed to accommodate most standard-width outdoor belts. For maintenance, wash in cold water using a mild, technical-friendly detergent. To maintain the effectiveness of the non-PFC-DWR water-repellent coating, avoid the use of fabric softeners. It is recommended to air dry the pants whenever possible, or tumble dry on a low heat setting. If water stops beading on the surface over time, you can apply a standard technical apparel re-waterproofing spray to restore the finish.
