FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are designed to be moisture-wicking and quick-drying, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed.
Can I wear these in the winter?
They are designed for active use in mild to warm conditions. They are not insulated and would likely require additional base layers for cold weather.
How do I determine the correct length?
The trousers come in specific leg lengths designated by 'S' (Short), 'R' (Regular), and 'L' (Long) which refer to the length of the shorts portion after zipping off.
Is the waist size adjustable?
The trousers feature a part-elasticated waist, providing a comfortable, slight-flex fit that adapts to your movement.
What is the primary material used?
They are primarily made from 96% polyamide and 4% elastane, providing a balance of durability and stretch.
Troubleshooting
Zip is difficult to operate
Check the internal fabric flap for any caught material and ensure no debris is stuck in the teeth of the zipper.
Fabric feels damp after light activity
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as this can coat the fibers and interfere with the Smartdry Eco moisture-wicking performance.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trousers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Use a cool wash cycle with minimal detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can compromise the moisture-wicking properties of the fabric.
- Drying: The 'Wash & Wear' feature allows them to be drip-dried quickly; avoid high-heat tumble drying to maintain the integrity of the stretch fibers.
- Storage: Store with the leg sections zipped on if you prefer to keep sets together, or zipped off to save vertical space in your travel luggage.
- Compatibility: The part-elasticated waist provides a flexible fit for various baselayer weights, though it is best worn with a standard outdoor belt for security during strenuous activity.
