FAQs
What type of activity are these trousers best suited for?
They are primarily recommended for hiking and trekking due to their lightweight, stretch, and articulated knee design. They are also suitable for general outdoor activities and casual wear.
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, they are water-resistant due to a DWR finish, meaning they can repel light rain and moisture. For heavy or prolonged rain, waterproof overtrousers would be recommended.
How do I adjust the fit of the trousers?
The trousers feature a part-elasticated waist for comfort and come with an adjustable webbing belt with a snap buckle closure for a secure and customizable fit.
What is the fabric composition?
The fabric is made from 94% Polyamide and 6% Elastane, providing a blend of durability, stretch, and comfort.
How many pockets do the trousers have?
The trousers feature multiple pockets: two standard hand pockets and one single, zipped back pocket for secure storage.
Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the trousers include a removable webbing belt with a snap buckle closure, allowing you to use your own belt if preferred.
How should I care for these trousers to maintain their performance?
Machine wash at 40°C with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment to maintain water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive despite being stretch fabric.
Ensure the belt is correctly adjusted and not over-tightened. Check that the articulated knees are properly aligned with your legs when moving.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment to restore water repellency. For heavy rain, waterproof overtrousers may be necessary.
Belt buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the webbing is straight and not twisted within the buckle. Clean any dirt or debris from the buckle mechanism.
Pockets feel insecure.
Ensure items are placed fully within the pockets and that the zipped pocket is fully closed when in use.
