FAQs

Are these pants waterproof?

They feature a PFC-free water-repellent finish designed for light showers, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.

Can I use these for intense climbing?

The articulated knees allow for good mobility, but they are primarily designed for hiking and casual outdoor use rather than technical climbing.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners to protect the water-repellent properties.

Do they fit true to size?

They feature a relaxed fit with a semi-elasticated waist, which offers a slightly more flexible and forgiving fit compared to slim-cut trousers.

What is the benefit of ripstop fabric?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special technique that makes it highly resistant to tearing and ripping, making it ideal for rugged outdoor environments.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads off the fabric during rain

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment.

Belt slips or does not hold tension

Check the webbing buckle for debris. Ensure the belt is threaded correctly and pulled through the locking mechanism firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and tear-resistant ripstop material
  • Water-repellent finish for light showers
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to articulated knees
  • Practical integrated belt design
  • Comfortable fit for various body types

Cons

  • Not suitable for extreme, heavy downpours
  • Design leans towards a relaxed fit which may not suit everyone
  • Specific maintenance required to keep the DWR coating effective

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your pants in peak condition, ensure the integrated belt is adjusted snugly before beginning any activity. For washing, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. To maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) performance, it is recommended to use a technical fabric wash rather than standard detergent, which can strip the coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric pores and reduce breathability. If the water-repellency fades, applying a DWR re-proofer according to the product instructions will restore its ability to shed light rain.
