FAQs
Can I wear these in cold weather?
These are primarily designed for active, temperate, or warm weather hiking. They do not provide heavy insulation for winter conditions.
Are the zippers itchy against the skin?
The zippers are designed to be concealed and lie flat; however, if you have sensitive skin, wearing thin base-layer leggings underneath can provide a comfortable barrier.
How do I clean the pockets?
The pockets are made from a polyester-cotton blend and can be cleaned by turning the garment inside out and spot-cleaning with a damp cloth if necessary.
What is the UPF rating?
The fabric offers a SolarShield sun protection factor of up to UPF 40+.
Do these shrink in the wash?
As they are made from polyamide and elastane, they are highly resistant to shrinking. Always follow the care label temperature settings to be safe.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the leg section back on
Ensure the garment is not being pulled tight while trying to zip; remove the trousers to line up the zipper tracks perfectly on a flat surface.
Water is starting to soak into the fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the trousers and consider using a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-proofer to restore the water-repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To convert the trousers, simply unzip the leg sections using the concealed zips located above the knees. When reattaching the legs, ensure the zip sliders are aligned correctly and the inner fabric guard is flat against the skin to avoid irritation. For care, these trousers are machine washable. Due to the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can strip the protective coating. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and speed up the drying process. Always check the labels for specific temperature guidelines to ensure the longevity of the synthetic fibers.
