Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Women's Trail-Explorer Pants are designed for adult women seeking durable and flexible apparel for hiking and trekking. Their key benefit is unrestricted movement and protection from light moisture, though they may not be suitable for extreme weather conditions. Crafted from a softshell fabric with four-way stretch, these pants offer comfort and freedom of movement, featuring a PFC-free DWR coating for water repellency, abrasion-resistant material for durability, and multiple zippered pockets for storage. An integrated belt and lower leg zips enhance fit and adjustability.

FAQs
Are these pants suitable for very cold weather?
These are softshell pants designed for active use. While they offer some warmth and wind resistance, they may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold. Layering with thermal base layers is recommended for colder conditions.
How do I clean the pants?
Machine wash at 40°C, washing dark colours separately. Use a non-biological detergent and close all zippers before washing. Tumble dry on low heat or cool iron to maintain water repellency.
What does 'PFC-free DWR' mean?
PFC-free DWR stands for 'Durable Water Repellent' without the use of perfluorinated chemicals. It means the water-repellent treatment is more environmentally friendly while still providing protection against moisture.
Can I remove the integrated belt?
The integrated belt is part of the pant design and is not removable. It is adjustable to provide a secure and customized fit.
What is the weight of the pants?
The weight for a UK size 12 is approximately 420g (14.8 oz).
Are the thigh pockets mesh-lined?
Yes, the two zippered thigh pockets are mesh-lined for added ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The PFC-free DWR coating may need to be reactivated. Clean the pants and tumble dry on a low heat setting, or iron on a cool setting (with a towel in between) to restore water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can use a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax to lubricate the teeth.
Fit is too tight or loose.
Adjust the integrated belt for a more secure fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider trying a different size based on the Berghaus sizing chart.
