Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Big Wall Pants, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the integrated buckled belt to find your ideal waist size. Ensure the belt is tightened sufficiently to support the weight of items stored in the hip pockets.
- Customization: Use the ankle cordlocks to cinch the hem based on the footwear you are using; keep them loose for approach shoes and tighter for technical climbing boots.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-detergent technical soap. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the DWR coating.
- DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, tumble dry on low heat or iron on a cool setting (protected by a cloth) to reactivate the water-repellent finish. Reapply a spray-on DWR treatment if necessary.
