FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are designed to be wind-resistant and quick-drying, but they are not classified as fully waterproof hiking trousers.
What material are they made of?
The trousers are constructed from durable, high-quality nylon.
Can I use these for winter mountaineering?
They are best suited for high-energy mountain days in moderate weather. For extreme winter conditions, you would likely need to layer them under heavier waterproof or insulated trousers.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These trousers follow standard UK women's dress sizing. Refer to your typical size, but keep in mind they have an athletic cut for movement.
Are the knees reinforced?
The knees are articulated for movement, but do not feature heavy-duty patches; they are designed for weight savings and agility.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after light rain
While the material is quick-drying, it is not fully waterproof; consider applying a technical DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if performance diminishes over time.
Difficulty with sizing or fit
The Torrek Lite series offers various size options; ensure you consult the size chart, as these are tailored for an active, athletic cut rather than a loose, casual fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Torrek Lite Trousers, wash them in cool water with a mild, technical garment cleaner to preserve the fabric's properties. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleaching agents, as these can degrade the nylon fibers and wind-resistant coating. When drying, always air dry away from direct heat sources. These trousers are designed to fit standard hiking footwear and layers well under a shell pant if conditions turn severe, though they are primarily intended as a standalone outer layer for active use.
