FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, these trousers feature a water-resistant DWR finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. They are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
Can the belt be removed?
Yes, the adjustable webbing belt is removable, allowing you to use your own belt if preferred.
What is the main material of the trousers?
The trousers are primarily made from 94% Polyamide and 6% Elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the DWR finish, avoid fabric softeners during washing and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface.
Are these suitable for very cold weather?
These trousers are lightweight and designed for active use. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How many pockets do they have?
They feature two standard hand pockets and one zipped back pocket for secure storage.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight around the waist.
Adjust the webbing belt for a more comfortable fit or ensure the part-elasticated section is not overly strained.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The DWR finish may need to be reapplied. Wash the trousers and then apply a suitable DWR treatment as per the product instructions.
Zipped back pocket is difficult to open/close.
Check for any fabric obstructions caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If necessary, use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the teeth.
Legs feel restrictive during deep squats or high steps.
While designed for movement, extreme flexibility might be limited. Ensure the trousers are the correct size and utilize the articulated knees to their fullest.
