Rains Suva Hardshell Pants Regular - Pool

These pants are primarily designed for urban commuting and daily wear in moderate rainy and windy conditions, offering a blend of style and protection.

The pants have a W3 waterproof rating, which is suitable for daily moderate rainfall. They may not provide adequate protection during prolonged heavy downpours.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a liquid detergent, and wash separately. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Iron on a low setting if needed.

3L fabric refers to a 3-layer construction, where a waterproof and breathable membrane is bonded between an outer face fabric and an inner lining, providing durability and comfort.

While they offer mechanical stretch and moderate breathability, they are best suited for activities like walking and cycling. For very intense physical exertion, higher breathability might be desired.

The pants feature a 'Regular fit', meaning they are neither too tight nor too loose, offering a comfortable and standard silhouette.

The water column pressure is 5000 mm, indicating the level of waterproofness. This is considered suitable for moderate rain.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the fabric has not been damaged. Reapply a waterproofing treatment if performance has diminished. Check for any damage to zippers or closures.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the zipper teeth.

This may indicate the limits of the W3 waterproof rating have been exceeded or that the fabric's water-repellent treatment has worn off. Consider using these pants for lighter to moderate rain. Reapply a waterproofing spray to the exterior fabric.

The elastic is designed for durability but can degrade over time with excessive stretching or improper washing. Avoid machine drying, as high heat can damage elastic.
