FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which makes them water-resistant to light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
They provide wind resistance, but they are not insulated. For winter use, it is best to wear a thermal base layer underneath.
How do I know if the fit is right?
The slim fit is designed to be close-fitting. Ensure you can squat comfortably without the fabric feeling overly tight at the knees.
Can I use fabric softener?
No, fabric softener will compromise the technical performance of the water-repellent coating.
What are the Cordura panels for?
The Cordura panels are placed at the inner ankle to provide extra durability against abrasion from boots and trail obstacles.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a DWR reactivation spray according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Zips becoming stuck
Clean any debris or grit from the zip track using a soft brush. Ensure fabric is not caught in the mechanism.
Waist feels too loose during movement
The elasticated gripper tape is designed to grip the skin or base layers; ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider wearing a belt if necessary.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, machine wash the trousers on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent (DWR) coating. It is recommended to air dry the garment; if the water-repellent finish begins to fail over time, you can re-activate it using a commercial DWR spray-on treatment. These trousers are compatible with standard hiking boots; the inclusion of ankle zips allows for easier layering over taller boot cuffs.
