FAQs
What is the warranty on these pants?
The Sun Mountain Monsoon Waterproof Pants come with a 1-year waterproof warranty.
Are these pants breathable?
The pants feature a waterproof fabric with mechanical stretch. While designed for comfort and mobility, breathability might not match highly technical, premium-priced garments.
Can I wear these over other pants?
Yes, the design with deep lower leg zippers allows for easy on/off, making them suitable to wear over base layers or other golf trousers.
How should I clean the pants?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not use high heat.
What does 'mechanical stretch' mean?
Mechanical stretch refers to the fabric's ability to stretch and recover without the use of elastic fibers. It's achieved through the fabric's construction, allowing for greater freedom of movement.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The product description mentions three pockets but does not specify if they are waterproof. It is recommended to keep sensitive items in a waterproof bag within the pockets.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside, but it's not raining.
This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the pants are clean, as dirt and oils can impede performance. Consider a wash with technical fabric cleaner and reapply a DWR treatment if necessary.
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Check for damage to the fabric or seams. If the waterproof coating has worn off, a DWR treatment may restore some water repellency. For significant damage, contact customer support regarding the warranty.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the zippers are clean and free of debris. Gently run a graphite pencil or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear pants. Simply adjust the elastic waistband with the drawstring for a comfortable and secure fit before your round.
Compatibility: The Monsoon pants are designed as outerwear. They are compatible with most golf attire and footwear. The deep lower leg zippers are specifically designed to accommodate golf shoes, allowing for easy dressing and undressing on the course.
Care Instructions: To maintain the waterproof properties and longevity of your pants:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the waterproof membrane and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric's waterproof coating.
- Re-Waterproofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric to restore its water-shedding capabilities. Follow the instructions on the DWR product you choose.
