Troubleshooting
Belt slippage during movement

Fabric stiffness after washing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Flowstone Pants remain in top condition, start by adjusting the integrated belt to your preference before your first climb. These pants are fully compatible with most standard climbing harnesses; the low-profile waistband design minimizes friction. For care, wash the pants in cold water with mild detergent to preserve the softness of the cotton fibers. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang-dry in the shade to prevent potential shrinkage. Given the cotton construction, periodic inspection of the high-friction areas around the knees and seat is recommended to maintain the longevity of the garment.
