FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, they have a water-repellent finish, which is ideal for light showers, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for winter mountaineering?
They are designed for high-energy activity and wind resistance. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, they may need to be layered with thermal base layers.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The part-elasticated waist should feel snug but comfortable. The articulated knees should align naturally with your joints without pulling.
Does the fabric stretch?
The trousers are crafted from durable nylon designed for movement and are cut with articulated joints to provide a high range of motion.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the surface.
The DWR coating may be worn down. Wash the trousers and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a re-proofing spray.
Difficulty with the zip fly or pockets.
Check for debris or dirt caught in the zipper teeth; clean gently with a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Torrek Lite Trousers, machine wash them in cool water on a gentle cycle. Always avoid harsh chemicals, bleaches, or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. For the best maintenance of the water-repellent finish, tumble dry on a low heat setting occasionally, which helps to reactivate the DWR treatment. If the water repellent properties begin to fade significantly over time, you can apply a standard technical DWR spray to restore performance. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
