FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, they have a water-repellent finish designed for light showers, not heavy, sustained rainfall.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
They are designed as multi-purpose walking trousers. For extreme winter conditions, you may need to wear a thermal base layer underneath.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
It indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent skin protection.
How should I measure my waist for these?
Measure around your natural waistline, ensuring the tape is snug but not tight. Refer to the size guide for a 38-inch waist match.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the zipped pockets are designed to securely hold small essentials including most standard-sized smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The DWR finish may need reactivation or re-application. Clean the trousers and apply a standard spray-on DWR treatment.
Elastic waistband feeling loose
Check if the elastic has been overstretched by high-heat drying. Always follow care instructions to avoid damaging the fibers.
Dirt stains not coming out
Pre-treat the area with a stain remover safe for technical outdoor fabrics before your next wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highton trousers maintain their technical features, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) coating from the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on a low setting may be possible depending on specific care tags, but air drying is recommended to prolong the life of the elastic fibers.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. You can apply a dedicated fabric re-proofer to restore the water-repellent properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping them folded in damp conditions for extended periods to prevent material degradation.
