FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they are designed to shed light rain and moisture, but they are not fully waterproof against heavy or prolonged rain.
What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?
It means the fabric allows only 1/50th of UV radiation to pass through, providing excellent protection against sun damage.
Can I wash these in a standard machine?
Yes, machine wash on a cool setting without fabric softener to preserve the garment's technical features.
Does the waist have belt loops?
Yes, they feature a part-elasticated waist which includes belt loops for added convenience.
Are these pants suitable for winter?
These are generally designed for active, multi-season wear. For extreme winter conditions, you may need a thermal base layer underneath.
What material are the pants made from?
They are made from a high-quality blend of 92-94% Polyamide and 6-8% Elastane for the perfect mix of durability and stretch.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a DWR re-proofer spray according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Fabric feels restrictive after long use
Ensure no harsh detergents or softeners were used, which can stiffen synthetic fibers. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trousers last for many seasons, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Hang dry in a shaded area. Do not tumble dry on high heat, as this can degrade the synthetic fibers.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. Use a specialized technical garment spray to restore the water-shedding performance.
- Fit: The trousers feature a part-elasticated waist, which is compatible with most standard hiking belts if extra security is needed during technical climbing.
