Product Information
Full details
The Patagonia Quandary Trousers are engineered for adult men who demand unrestricted movement and reliable weather protection during long hiking treks. Featuring a stretchy nylon weave and a durable water-repellent finish, these trousers offer excellent comfort and 40+ UPF sun protection, making them a versatile choice for outdoor activities; however, potential buyers should note that the straight-cut regular fit may feel looser than more technical, tapered climbing pants.

FAQs
What is the primary material of these trousers?
These trousers are made from a durable, stretchy nylon fabric designed for outdoor durability.
Do these pants offer sun protection?
Yes, they provide 40+ UPF protection to keep you safe from UV exposure.
Are they waterproof?
They feature a DWR (durable water-repellent) finish which repels light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof in heavy rain.
How should I clean the trousers?
Machine wash them in cold water with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low.
What kind of fit can I expect?
These feature a regular fit that sits at the waist with a straight cut from the knee down to the ankle.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the pants
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a standard DWR reactivating spray followed by low-heat tumble drying.
Fabric feels restrictive during high-stepping maneuvers
Ensure the waistband is properly positioned at the waist and that the pant size matches your measurements; the regular fit is intended to be roomy, not skin-tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Patagonia Quandary Trousers, follow these guidelines for care and maintenance:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water with mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
- DWR Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface of the fabric, use a performance wash or spray-on DWR treatment to reactivate the water-repellent properties.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading over time.
