FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent finish for light showers but are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed.
Do these pants have stretch?
Yes, they are constructed with stretch material to ensure comfort and mobility during active use.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are lightweight and best suited for mild to moderate conditions; for winter, you should wear thermal base layers underneath.
What is the best way to clean the mesh-lined pockets?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle and ensure pockets are zipped shut to prevent damage.
How do I choose the right size?
The pants feature a standard waist and loose fit at the thighs; select your usual size, or check the brand size guide for specific waist measurements.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the pants and apply a technical garment water-repellent spray.
Zip feels stiff or stuck
Check for debris or grit caught in the zip track. Clean with a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth.

Care Instructions:
