FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent. They can handle light rain and mist but will absorb water during heavy or prolonged downpours.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They are ideal for high-exertion winter hiking as they are breathable, but you may need an insulated base layer underneath in freezing temperatures.
What does bluesign certified mean?
It means the textile production process minimizes the impact on people and the environment by removing harmful substances from the supply chain.
Do these pants have stretch?
Yes, they are made with 4-way stretch fabric, offering exceptional elasticity in all directions for maximum mobility.
Can I use fabric softener on these?
No, avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric pores and degrade the water-repellent performance of the softshell material.
Troubleshooting
