FAQs

What type of weather are these trousers best suited for?

These trousers are ideal for mild to moderate weather conditions. The water-repellent fabric offers protection against light rain and wind, making them suitable for year-round use with appropriate layering for colder temperatures.

How do I choose the right leg length?

The trousers are available in short, regular, and long leg lengths. It's recommended to measure your inseam or compare with a pair of well-fitting trousers to select the most appropriate length for your height.

Are these trousers suitable for very cold winter hiking?

While durable and comfortable, the trousers themselves are not heavily insulated. For very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to wear them as an outer layer over warm thermal base layers.

Can I machine wash these trousers?

Yes, you can machine wash them at 30°C with similar colors. However, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the fabric's technical properties like water repellency.

What does PFAS Compliant mean?

PFAS Compliant means that the product has been manufactured adhering to regulations concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are often used in water-repellent treatments. This indicates a commitment to using more environmentally responsible chemical treatments.

How secure are the zipped pockets?

The trousers feature functional zipped pockets, designed to keep your essential items like a phone, keys, or wallet secure and protected from the elements during your activities.

What is the fit of the trousers?

The trousers are described as having a 'slim but not tight' fit. They are designed to move with you while offering a streamlined silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fit is designed to be slim but not tight; consider a larger size if more room is needed. Utilize the adjustable waist and leg hems for minor fit adjustments.

Water repellency seems reduced

This can happen over time with wear and washing. Re-treat the fabric with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softener during washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Hems are too loose or too tight

Adjust the shock cord toggle at the hem to tighten or loosen the leg opening as desired. Ensure the toggle is secured to maintain the chosen fit.
