FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter use?
They are designed for high-energy activities. In cold weather, you may need to pair them with thermal base layer leggings for added warmth.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry them. High heat can damage the synthetic fibers and the DWR coating.
What does the 50+ UV rating mean?
It means the fabric provides a high level of protection against ultraviolet rays, blocking at least 98% of the sun's radiation.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The zipped pockets are designed for small essentials. Most standard smartphones will fit, but verify against your device dimensions.
Do these trousers stretch?
The fit is achieved through the technical cut and articulated design, providing comfort through movement rather than heavy spandex content.
Are they waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they shed light rain. They are not fully waterproof and are not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric.
The DWR finish has worn off. You can restore this using a standard garment re-proofing spray or wash-in water repellent treatment.
Fabric feels restrictive during high steps.
Ensure the trousers are positioned correctly at your natural waistline to allow the articulated knee panels to align with your joints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, utilize the part-elasticated waist to ensure a secure feel without needing a belt. These trousers are compatible with most standard hiking footwear, including mid-height boots and trail shoes. To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent finish and the technical fabric, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the DWR coating. Always air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage.
