Their key benefit is the ability to transform from trousers to shorts, offering adaptability for hikes, climbs, or trail running.

FAQs

How do I zip the legs back on?

Align the zipper on the leg piece with the zipper at the bottom of the trouser leg. Carefully pull the zipper up, ensuring no fabric is caught in the teeth.

Are these trousers waterproof?

No, they have a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which is designed to shed light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and are not suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What type of activities are these best suited for?

They are ideal for hiking, trekking, trail running, climbing, and general outdoor activities where adaptability to changing weather conditions is beneficial.

How should I wash these trousers?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, blocking at least 98% of UV rays.

Can I remove the webbing belt?

Yes, the webbing belt is removable and can be replaced with your own preferred belt if desired.

What is the fit like?

The trousers have a slim fit, designed to be close to the body without being tight, offering a streamlined silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Zipper on zip-off leg is difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Gently apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide. Check for any fabric snags.

Water repellent finish seems less effective.

This can occur over time with washing. Consider re-treating the fabric with a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel. Avoid using fabric softener.

Trousers feel restrictive during intense activity.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The slim fit is designed for a streamlined feel; verify that the articulated knee and stretch fabric are allowing for full range of motion.
