FAQs
Are these pants suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, they are designed for all-season use, though you may need a thermal base layer underneath in sub-zero temperatures.
What does PFC-free DWR mean?
It means the water-repellent coating is free from perfluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly.
Can I iron these trousers?
It is generally not recommended to iron technical softshell trousers as heat can damage the stretch fibers and the DWR coating.
Do the pockets have drainage?
Yes, the zippered thigh pockets feature mesh linings which help with ventilation and moisture management.
How do I find my size?
The size listed refers to the waist measurement in inches (e.g., 42W for 42-inch waist).
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment followed by a low-heat tumble dry.
Lower leg zips feeling stuck
Remove any mud or debris from the zipper teeth using a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, utilize the integrated belt to cinch the waist to your preference before starting your hike. When wearing high-cut mountain boots, unzip the lower leg hems to allow the fabric to slide comfortably over the boot shafts, then re-zip to seal the cuff. For care, wash the pants in cold water using a technical gear detergent to avoid damaging the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers and reduce breathability. To maintain the water-repellent performance, tumble dry on a low setting occasionally to reactivate the DWR coating, or apply a spray-on DWR treatment once the factory finish begins to fade.
