FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which makes them water-resistant against light rain and mist, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry these pants to preserve the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the DWR coating.
What is the best way to clean them?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using heavy-duty detergents or softeners.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, they include hidden pockets designed to keep your essential items safe during movement.
What material are the pants made of?
They are constructed from durable, high-quality polyester with added stretch components.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading up
The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the garment to remove dirt and apply a technical DWR revitalizing spray.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibers and interfere with the technical performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Explorer Pants provide long-term service, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent designed for technical outdoor gear if possible.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not use high-heat tumble drying as it can damage the stretch properties and the DWR treatment.
- Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the fabric after several months of use, consider applying a garment-safe DWR re-proofing spray to restore the water-repellent finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation.
