FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature an H2OShield water-repellent finish, which makes them splashproof in light rain, but they are not fully waterproof like a hardshell garment.
Can I wear these in the summer?
They are specifically designed as insulated trousers for cold conditions and would likely be too warm for summer hiking.
How should I clean the trousers?
Machine wash them cold on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softeners, and hang them to dry.
What is the purpose of the reinforced fabric?
The double-layer fabric at the seat and knees provides extra abrasion resistance against rocks, sticks, and general trail wear.
Do they provide sun protection?
Yes, the fabric includes SolarShield technology offering UPF 30-50+ protection.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beading on the surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the trousers and apply a standard DWR reactivating spray or wash-in treatment.
Fleece lining feels damp after long hikes
Ensure you are using appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from your skin, as the fleece is designed to trap heat, not necessarily wick sweat directly from the body.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Integrated fleece lining offers excellent warmth in low temperatures
- Reinforced knees and seat extend the lifespan of the garment
- Water-repellent finish provides protection in light rain
- Provides essential UV sun protection for year-round hiking
- Effective defense against insect bites
Cons
- Heavier than non-insulated summer trousers
- Fleece lining may retain heat too well in moderate conditions
- Limited to cold-weather use due to insulation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trousers are designed for active use, fit is critical. Ensure the waist sizing is accurate to your measurements as the thermal lining can affect how the waistband sits.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle to preserve the water-repellent finish.
- Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fibers and reduce moisture-wicking capabilities.
- Hang to air dry; the quick-drying material does not require high heat.
- If the water-repellent performance fades over time, treat the trousers with a DWR spray specifically formulated for synthetic outdoor clothing.
