FAQs

Can I wear these trousers on their own?

These are designed as over-trousers to be worn as a protective layer over your standard trousers or base layers.

Are they suitable for heavy mountain rain?

Yes, with a 20,000mm waterproof rating, they are highly capable of handling heavy and persistent rain.

How do I wash them?

Use a specialized technical detergent for waterproof clothing. Avoid biological detergents and fabric softeners.

Do I need to take my boots off to wear them?

No, the ankle zips are specifically designed to allow for removal and application over boots.

What does the breathability rating mean?

A rating of 30,000g/m²/24hrs means the fabric is highly effective at moving sweat away from your body, keeping you dry from the inside out.

Are these trousers unisex?

Yes, they are designed as a unisex fit with an adjustable waistband to accommodate a wide variety of body shapes.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the garment and re-apply a technical DWR spray to restore the water-beading effect.

Condensation builds up inside

Ensure you are venting properly and that the outside temperature is significantly lower than your body temperature, which aids the breathability process.

Ankle zips are difficult to pull

Clean any mud or grit from the zipper tracks using a soft brush or cloth to ensure smooth movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof rating (20,000mm) suitable for heavy rain
  • Excellent breathability for high-intensity trekking
  • Easy to put on and remove via ankle zips
  • Comfortable fit with adjustable waistband
  • Durable polyester construction

Cons

  • Not intended for use as a primary pant
  • Requires proper maintenance to sustain DWR coating
  • Limited to one color option (Black)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum effectiveness, wear these over your standard hiking trousers or leggings. Adjust the drawstring waistband to sit comfortably at your natural waistline. For maintenance, wash the trousers using a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof membranes to avoid damaging the Aqua Dry layer. Do not use standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce breathability. Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing to ensure water beads off the surface effectively.
