FAQs

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

No, these trousers feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means they will shed light rain and splashes, keeping you drier. However, they are not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.

What kind of activities are these trousers suitable for?

They are ideal for a variety of activities including walking, hiking, trekking, light outdoor activities, and everyday casual wear, thanks to their comfort, flexibility, and durability.

How do I wash these trousers to maintain their features?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. It's crucial to avoid using fabric softeners as they can negatively impact the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry.

Do these trousers offer freedom of movement?

Yes, they are made from a 4-way stretch fabric (recycled nylon/elastane) and feature an articulated knee design, providing excellent flexibility and unrestricted movement for comfort during active use.

Can I adjust the fit of the trousers?

Absolutely. The trousers come with adjustable shockcords at both the waist and the leg hems, allowing you to customize the fit for maximum comfort and security.

Are there secure pockets for valuables?

Yes, these trousers include multiple pockets, including zipped security pockets, which are perfect for safely storing essential items like your phone, keys, or wallet during your activities.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be diminishing.

Ensure you are washing without fabric softener, which can clog the DWR finish. After washing, tumble dry on low heat or iron on a low setting (with a cloth over the fabric) to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, consider reapplying a specialized DWR treatment product.

The trousers feel too loose or too tight around the waist/ankles.

Utilize the adjustable shockcords at the waist and hems. Pull the cords to tighten for a snugger fit or release them to loosen. Experiment to find your most comfortable and secure setting.

Pockets feel bulky when full or items are not secure.

Make use of the zipped security pockets for essential items like keys, phone, or wallet to prevent them from falling out. For bulkier items, consider if they can be clipped to the external gear attachment loop instead of filling internal pockets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior flexibility and freedom of movement due to 4-way stretch
  • Effective water repellency for protection in damp conditions
  • Highly durable and abrasion-resistant for long-lasting use
  • Practical storage with secure zipped pockets and gear loop
  • Comfortable, lightweight, and quick-drying design
  • Customizable fit through adjustable waist and hem

Cons

  • Water-repellent finish is not fully waterproof for heavy rain
  • Black color may absorb more heat in direct, intense sunlight

These trousers are ready to wear immediately. Simply adjust the waist and hem shockcords to achieve your preferred fit. They are highly compatible with a wide range of outdoor and casual footwear, from hiking boots to trail shoes or even casual trainers. For care, it is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Always consult the garment's specific care label for detailed instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. Tumble dry on low or hang to air dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and DWR performance. If the DWR finish begins to degrade over time, specialist wash-in or spray-on treatments can be used to restore water repellency.
