FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
No, the Brasher Stretch Trousers are water-resistant due to a DWR finish, which helps repel light rain and moisture. They are not designed for heavy or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is the main advantage of articulated knees?
Articulated knees are pre-shaped to allow for a greater range of movement, making it easier to walk, climb, and bend without the trousers restricting your motion.
How should I wash these trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. It is important to avoid fabric softeners, as they can negatively impact the water-resistant properties.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight polyester fabric makes them suitable for warmer conditions, especially during active pursuits where breathability is important.
What type of activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are recommended for hiking and trekking, but also offer comfort and protection for general walking and everyday outdoor activities.
How do I adjust the fit?
The trousers feature an adjustable webbing belt with a snap buckle closure and a part-elasticated waist for a customizable and comfortable fit.
How often should I re-apply the water-resistant treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. It is recommended to re-apply a DWR treatment when you notice a reduction in water repellency, typically after several washes or significant wear.
Troubleshooting
Fit feels slightly loose despite belt
The part-elasticated waist provides additional snugness. Ensure the webbing belt is tightened appropriately. If the fit remains too loose, consider if a smaller size might be more suitable.
Water resistance seems reduced
The DWR finish may need reapplication. Clean the trousers thoroughly and apply a suitable DWR treatment spray, following the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid fabric softeners during washing.
Zippers are stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil lead) to the teeth to improve smoothness.
