Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
There is no complex setup required for these trousers. Simply choose the correct size – we recommend purchasing one size larger than your usual size due to their small fitting – and put them on. The part elasticated waist and belt loops allow for minor adjustments to achieve your most comfortable fit.
Compatibility
These trousers are designed for adult women (sizes UK 8-22) seeking durable and functional legwear. They are suitable for a wide range of activities, including professional work (e.g., trades, landscaping, outdoor education), hiking, camping, and general outdoor pursuits. They are an excellent choice for anyone who requires robust, practical trousers with good storage and weather resistance.
Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the durability and water-repellent properties of your trousers:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool or warm temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) with similar colours. Close all zippers before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the durable water repellent (DWR) finish and damage the fabric fibers.
- Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the DWR finish. If using a tumble dryer, a short cycle with low heat can help reactivate the DWR finish.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid ironing directly over reinforced patches or printed logos.
- DWR Re-application: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-treating the trousers with a wash-in or spray-on DWR product specifically designed for outdoor garments. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
