FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
They are designed for high-energy mountain use. In very cold conditions, we recommend wearing a thermal base layer underneath for added warmth.
Do they provide protection against rain?
The material is quick-drying and wind-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for light showers or mixed weather.
How should I choose the right size?
The Torrek Lite Trousers feature a performance cut. If you prefer a looser fit for layering, consider checking the size guide measurements.
Can I use these for climbing?
Yes, the articulated knees are specifically designed to support the flexibility required for climbing and scrambling.
What is the best way to clean them?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener, as it can strip the protective finish of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels saturated after light rain
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reapplying. Use a specialized spray-on re-proofer to restore water beading.
Visible dirt or mud stains
Spot clean with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh scrubbing as it may compromise the wind-resistant weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Torrek Lite Trousers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent to preserve the wind-resistant finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible; avoid high heat, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Compatibility: These trousers pair well with base layers during cooler treks but are lightweight enough to be worn alone in warmer conditions.
- Storage: Hang the trousers or fold them loosely to maintain the shape of the articulated knee panels.
