Product Information
Full details
The Berghaus Big Wall Pant is designed for adult climbers and hikers who require a balance of mobility and rugged protection during demanding outdoor activities. Featuring a durable two-tone ripstop stretch fabric, these pants offer exceptional freedom of movement thanks to articulated knees and a relaxed fit. While they provide excellent utility and moisture resistance, users should note that the relaxed fit may feel looser than standard technical trousers, requiring proper use of the integrated belt to achieve a secure hold.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these pants suitable for winter hiking?
They are designed for versatility and moisture management, but they are not insulated. They work best as a mid-layer or outer shell in mild to cool conditions.
Can I use these for bouldering?
Yes, the ripstop stretch fabric and articulated knees are excellent for the high-intensity movements required for bouldering.
Do the pockets accommodate large smartphones?
The hip pockets are designed for smaller essentials. Most standard-sized smartphones will fit, but larger models may feel bulky.
How should I store them when not in use?
Keep them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them bunched up or damp for long periods to prevent mildew.
Is the fabric noisy when moving?
The fabric is designed for performance, so it is relatively quiet compared to heavier, non-stretch shell trousers.
Can the belt be removed?
The belt is integrated into the waistband design for security and should not be removed.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose during activity
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the buckle teeth; readjust and pull the strap firmly to lock the tension.
Water is soaking into the fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Re-apply a fabric-appropriate DWR spray and tumble dry on a low setting if the care label permits.
Cordlock is slipping
Check the cordlock for debris or grit. Clean the mechanism with warm water and ensure the drawstring is not frayed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Berghaus Big Wall Pants provide optimal performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the integrated belted waistband to cinch the pants to your desired tightness; ensure the buckle is fully engaged before starting your activity.
- Customization: Use the ankle cordlocks to adjust the leg circumference based on your footwear choice—looser for breathable hiking, tighter for climbing to avoid snagging.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR finish.
- Re-treating: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. Use a standard garment-safe DWR re-proofer spray to restore the water-shedding performance.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct high heat sources to maintain the elasticity of the stretch fabric.
