Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Holmside Pant is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who prioritize movement and durability in variable weather conditions. Designed with a performance-focused softshell fabric and articulated knees, these pants offer exceptional comfort for long days on the trail. While they provide excellent resistance against light rain and wind, they are primarily built for active use rather than extreme, heavy-duty alpine mountaineering.

FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes them water-resistant against showers, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear a belt with these?
Yes, the pants include belt loops to help you customize the fit at the waist.
What material are the pants made from?
The Holmside Pant is constructed from a durable, lightweight polyester softshell fabric.
Are they suitable for winter hiking?
They provide good protection, but for extreme winter conditions, you may need a thermal base layer underneath for additional warmth.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner or mild detergent without fabric softeners.
Do the knees stretch?
They feature articulation to enhance mobility, which helps them move with your body during hiking.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the pants and re-apply a technical DWR spray to restore water repellency.
Hem cord is slipping or not holding tension
Check the cord lock for any grit or debris. Clean the mechanism and ensure the cord is threaded properly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of mobility due to articulated knee design
- Lightweight yet robust ripstop construction
- Versatile fit via adjustable hem and belt loops
- Reliable water repellency for unpredictable weather
Cons
- DWR coating may require periodic reapplication
- Limited to light-to-moderate moisture protection
- Polyester fabric may lack the extreme breathability of thinner base-layer materials
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Berghaus Holmside Pant, utilize the integrated belt loops to refine the fit and make use of the bungee cord hem adjustment to seal the pants against your boots. This setup is particularly effective for keeping out debris and wind.
Care instructions are straightforward: machine wash with a mild detergent. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the fabric. Periodic re-treatment with a DWR spray is recommended once you notice that water stops beading on the surface of the fabric.
