FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, the trousers feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which makes them water-resistant against light rain and showers. They are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.
How do I clean the trousers?
Machine wash inside out at 30°C with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry. Iron on a low heat after washing to help reactivate the DWR finish.
What is the benefit of articulated knees?
Articulated knees are pre-shaped to follow the natural movement of your leg, providing greater freedom and reducing fabric pull when you bend your knees, which is ideal for hiking and climbing.
Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the adjustable webbing belt is removable, allowing you to wear the trousers with your own belt if preferred.
What material are the trousers made from?
They are made from a blend of 94% Polyamide and 6% Elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.
Are these suitable for cold weather?
The trousers are lightweight and best suited for mild to moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing
Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Wash the garment before re-applying.
Belt buckle difficult to use
Ensure the webbing is not twisted and is fed correctly through the buckle. Clean any debris from the buckle mechanism.
Trousers feel restrictive
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The articulated knees and stretch fabric should provide ample room for movement.
Pockets feel shallow
The hand pockets are designed for quick access items. Use the zipped back pocket for more secure storage of larger items.
