FAQs

Are the Ibex Mountain Pants waterproof?

No, the Ibex Mountain Pants are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. They offer protection from light rain and wind, but in heavy rain, additional waterproof layers are recommended.

What is the material of the pants?

The main fabric is EXOLITE 210 double weave softshell fabric, which is wind and water-resistant, tough, and stretchy. It also has a PFAS-free DWR coating.

What kind of activities are these pants suitable for?

These pants are ideal for hillwalking, scrambling, and mountaineering. They are also suitable for general outdoor use in variable conditions.

Do these pants have a belt?

Yes, they have an integrated low-profile belt that sits neatly under a pack or climbing harness.

How do I wash the pants?

Machine wash cold (30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron.

Do the pants come with a drawcord for the hem?

No, a drawcord channel is included at the hem, but the drawcord itself is not included.

What is the Alpine Fit?

The Alpine Fit is a design feature that provides complete freedom of movement with no excess fabric, making it ideal for technical activities.

Troubleshooting

Pants feel restrictive during movement.

Ensure you have the correct size. The Alpine Fit is designed for freedom of movement. If the issue persists, consider trying a size up or adjusting the integrated belt.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

The pants are water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using waterproof over-trousers. Reapply DWR treatment to enhance water repellency.

Zippers are sticking.

Clean the zippers with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a zipper lubricant.

Belt is too loose.

Tighten the integrated belt to your preferred fit, ensuring it sits comfortably beneath your pack or harness.
