Full details

Ideal for hiking and varied terrain navigation, these pants feature a durable ripstop fabric with a PFC-free water-repellent finish to handle light rain; however, they are optimized for moderate conditions and may not provide sufficient thermal insulation for high-altitude winter expeditions.

FAQs

Are these pants waterproof?

They are water-resistant. The PFC-free DWR coating protects against light showers, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy rain.

Are they suitable for summer hiking?

Yes, the breathable ripstop fabric makes them suitable for most three-season hiking conditions.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry low to maintain the DWR properties.

Do they provide UV protection?

While the dense ripstop fabric offers some physical barrier, they are not specifically rated for high UPF protection.

Can these be worn as workwear?

The durable ripstop material is rugged enough for light outdoor tasks, though they are primarily designed for trekking and hiking.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the surface.

The DWR coating may need reactivation. Clean the pant, then tumble dry on low heat or apply a technical spray-on DWR restorer.

Pants feel tight around the waist during activity.

Ensure the semi-elasticated waistband is sitting correctly on your hips; if the issue persists, ensure your base layers are not adding excessive bulk beneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to ergonomic cut
  • Durable ripstop material resists snags and abrasions
  • Eco-friendly PFC-free water repellent finish
  • Comfort-focused semi-elasticated waistband

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy or sustained downpours
  • Limited thermal insulation for extreme cold
  • Black-only colorway offers less visibility in low light

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These pants are designed for a standard fit. For optimal care, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can compromise the DWR coating. To reactivate the water-repellent finish, tumble dry on a low heat setting occasionally or use a technical fabric re-proofer if you notice moisture no longer beads on the surface. These pants pair well with mid-weight base layers if extra warmth is needed during shoulder season hikes.
