The knee darts are designed to improve flexibility and allow for greater freedom of movement, which is particularly useful when climbing, scrambling, or navigating uneven terrain.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the sizing guide carefully, as outdoor apparel fit can differ. If the size is correct, the stretch fabric should offer some give, but extreme tightness may indicate an incorrect size selection.

While the pockets are designed for easy access, consider using small zippered pouches or bags for highly valuable or tiny items if extra security is needed during very rugged activities.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially regarding avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying. These can degrade fabric elasticity over time.
