FAQs
Are these trousers true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions for activewear, but the stretch material provides a flexible fit.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
These are lightweight and breathable, making them best for spring, summer, and autumn; for winter, you may need to layer leggings underneath.
How do I store the detached leg sections?
The legs are lightweight and pack down small enough to fit into a backpack pocket or small dry bag.
Are they suitable for climbing?
The high-stretch polyamide and elastane blend makes them excellent for climbing where flexibility is a priority.
Is the material noisy when walking?
Unlike traditional stiff hiking pants, the fabric is soft and quiet, allowing for a comfortable experience on long walks.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check for grit or trail debris in the teeth of the zipper and clean with a soft brush; applying a small amount of zipper lubricant can also help.
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR coating may have worn off; tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the finish or apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trousers, always zip the legs back onto the main body when washing to prevent the zippers from snagging or catching on other items. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the H2OShield DWR finish. For the best maintenance, hang the trousers to dry; the moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties of the fabric mean they will be ready to go in a short amount of time. If you notice water no longer beads off the surface after extensive use, you can refresh the DWR coating using a wash-in or spray-on repellent treatment.
