FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent, meaning they offer protection against light rain and moisture but are not designed for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for mild to cool conditions. For deep winter or freezing temperatures, you may need to layer thermals underneath.
How do I measure for the correct fit?
These trousers follow standard UK sizing; refer to your usual dress size while keeping in mind the elasticated side panels provide some flexibility.
What is the material composition?
These trousers are crafted from 100% polyester, chosen for its high durability and resistance to wear.
Are the ankle vents easy to open while wearing hiking boots?
Yes, the ankle vents feature water-repellent zips specifically placed to allow for easier adjustment even while wearing mid-cut hiking boots.
Troubleshooting
Zip is sticking or difficult to move
Check the track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper is clean of dried mud.
Water repellency seems to be fading
Re-apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment specifically designed for softshell outdoor garments.
Elastic panels feeling stretched out
Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the elasticity of the side panels over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DLX Tawny Trousers maintain their water-repellent finish, wash them in cool water with a gentle, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical coating from the polyester fabric. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the zippers and elastic panels. For the best fit, ensure the waistband button is secure and check that the side panels have sufficient stretch to accommodate base layers if you are planning to wear these in cooler weather.
