Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which makes them water-resistant against light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.

Can these be worn in winter?

They are designed as a lightweight, active layer. For deep winter, you may need to wear a thermal base layer underneath for additional warmth.

What does articulated knee mean?

It means the fabric is cut and sewn specifically to follow the natural bend of your knee, allowing for better movement without restriction.

Is the material stretchy?

Yes, they are constructed from ultra-stretch fabric designed for high-energy activity and unrestricted movement.

How should I wash them to keep the UV protection?

Use a mild detergent and wash on a cold or warm cycle. Avoid harsh chemicals and softeners to protect the fabric's integrity.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off; clean the garment and apply a DWR reactivation spray followed by low-heat tumble drying.

Difficulty with the zip fly

Check for debris or grit caught in the zipper teeth and clear with a soft brush; ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly breathable for active use
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to articulation
  • Effective wind-blocking properties
  • Durable enough to resist trail abrasion
  • Quick-drying fabric for rapid transitions

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme sub-zero alpine conditions
  • DWR coating may require re-application over time
  • Limited to adult sizing range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Torrek Lite Trousers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent that is safe for DWR coatings. Avoid fabric softeners as they can compromise the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a machine, select a low heat setting.
  3. Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on low heat or using a spray-on re-proofer after a thorough wash.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fabric's UV protection.
