FAQs
Are these pants suitable for winter hiking?
They are lightweight and breathable, making them best for spring, summer, and autumn. For winter use, you would likely need a base layer underneath.
Does the fabric have UV protection?
While the nylon material provides some inherent coverage, these are not specifically rated for UPF protection.
Can I wear these for casual daily use?
Yes, the versatile design and neutral color options make them suitable for both outdoor activities and casual everyday wear.
How do I determine the right size?
These pants follow standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the manufacturer's size chart using your waist and hip measurements to ensure the best fit.
Do the pants have pockets with zippers?
This model features two open back pockets for quick access to essentials, but does not include zippered secure pockets.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the fabric surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment to remove dirt and oils, then apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray.
Hem buckle becomes loose during hiking
Ensure the fabric is folded neatly before snapping the buckle; clear any debris from the snap mechanism to ensure a firm connection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your pants remain in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry in the shade to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface after extensive use, consider using a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment designed for technical outerwear.
- Compatibility: The pants feature standard belt loops compatible with most technical outdoor belts. The regular cut typically fits true to size, but we recommend measuring your waist to align with your specific UK size.
