FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
They feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which makes them water-resistant against light showers, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these for casual hiking?
Absolutely, the durable construction and comfortable fit make them an excellent choice for general hiking and trekking.
What is the fit of the Berghaus Big Wall Pant?
These pants feature a relaxed, ergonomic fit designed to accommodate movement and layering.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
Wash with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Re-proof with a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment after extended use.
Does the waistband contain elastic?
The waistband relies primarily on the integrated belt and buckle system for adjustment rather than elastic.
Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?
Yes, the hip pockets are designed to securely hold small essentials including many standard-sized smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing treatment.
Buckle keeps slipping.
Ensure the webbing is fed through the buckle properly and that the teeth are catching on the fabric cleanly.
Ankle cinch cord is loose.
Verify the spring mechanism in the cordlock is not obstructed by debris; clean with warm water if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric
- Ripstop finish provides high durability for rough rock surfaces
- Adjustable features like the waistband and ankle cinches ensure a custom fit
- DWR finish offers protection against light rain

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Big Wall Pant is straightforward; simply use the integrated belt buckle to tighten the waist to your preference. When pulling on the pants, ensure the articulated knees are aligned correctly to benefit from the intended freedom of movement.
For care, wash the pants on a cool cycle to preserve the DWR finish. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating. It is recommended to hang-dry these pants away from direct heat sources. To maintain the DWR performance over time, consider using a specialized DWR re-proofing wash when you notice that water no longer beads on the surface.
