FAQs

What is the main benefit of the 2L ePE GORE-TEX fabric?

The 2L ePE GORE-TEX fabric provides durable waterproof and breathable protection while being PFAS-free, contributing to a reduced environmental impact.

Can I wear these trousers over jeans?

Yes, the generous fit and side zips allow for wearing over other trousers, though they are designed to be worn over a base layer or hiking pants for optimal performance.

How do I pack the trousers for storage?

The trousers feature an internal pocket that they can be neatly folded and packed into for compact storage and easy transport.

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

They provide excellent waterproof and windproof protection, and their design allows for layering underneath. For extreme cold, additional insulated layers may be necessary.

How do I clean the trousers without damaging the waterproof properties?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat to maintain the DWR finish. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

What is the purpose of the two-way side zips?

The two-way zips allow for quick on-and-off, adjustability for different footwear, and significant ventilation during high-intensity activities.

What does 'articulated knees' mean for the wearer?

Articulated knees are shaped to allow for a greater range of motion and flexibility, making it easier to move comfortably when hiking, climbing, or bending.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through fabric

Ensure the DWR coating is active. Wash the trousers and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If performance is still poor, consider applying a DWR treatment.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zippers with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.

Trousers feel clammy inside

This can be due to high exertion levels or inadequate ventilation. Open the two-way side zips for better airflow. Ensure you are not overheating by adjusting layers underneath.

Waist adjustment not secure

Ensure the elasticated cord is fully tightened and the toggle is engaged. If the elastic has lost its stretch over time, consider professional repair or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance.
  • Designed for enhanced freedom of movement.
  • Practical features like adjustable waist/hem and side zips.
  • Environmentally conscious material choice (PFAS-free GORE-TEX).
  • Compact and packable for travel.

Cons

  • Elasticated waist may not suit all body types or require layering for a snug fit.
  • Storm flap closures rely on snap buttons, which could be less durable than zips in extreme conditions.
  • Material may be less durable than heavier-duty overtrousers for rugged off-trail use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These overtrousers require no specific setup beyond adjusting the waist cord and hem drawcords for a secure and comfortable fit. The two-way side zips can be opened from the top or bottom for ventilation or easier donning/doffing over footwear.

Compatibility: Designed as outerwear, these pants are compatible with most hiking boots and footwear. Ensure sufficient room for layering over your regular trousers or base layers, especially if using the elasticated waist for a snug fit.

Care: To maintain the performance of the GORE-TEX fabric:

  1. Washing: Machine wash using a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes (or longer if needed) to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Ironing (Optional): If the DWR needs further reactivation, a cool iron (no steam) can be used after tumble drying.
  5. Reproofing: If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, apply a DWR treatment (follow product instructions).
