Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Volcanism Pant is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and those who appreciate technical, terrace-inspired casual wear. Its primary strength lies in its durable, water-repellent ripstop fabric and articulated design, which provides exceptional freedom of movement on challenging terrain. However, users should note that the water-repellent finish is optimized for light showers rather than sustained heavy downpours, making it a versatile mid-weight option for changeable weather conditions.

FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent. They are designed to protect against light showers but will soak through in heavy or prolonged rain.
Is the belt removable?
The belt is integrated into the design to ensure a perfect fit with the waist construction.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for mild to cool conditions; however, for freezing temperatures, you may need a thermal base layer underneath.
How should I clean the fabric?
Wash with mild detergent on a cool cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-repellent coating.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the water-repellent coating does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often considered harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off through use. Wash the garment to remove dirt and apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR restorer.
Belt slips or does not hold tension
Check the webbing buckle for debris. If the belt remains loose, ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the tensioning mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Volcanism Pants, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the integrated webbing belt before beginning your activity to ensure the waist is secure but comfortable.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water. Use a technical gear cleaner if possible to preserve the DWR treatment.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, choose a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the synthetic fibers.
- DWR Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you can re-apply a spray-on DWR treatment to restore protection after a thorough cleaning.
