How should I clean the pants to preserve their features?

What does 'DWR coated' mean?
DWR stands for 'Durable Water Repellent'. This coating helps water bead up and roll off the fabric's surface, providing resistance to light moisture and stains.

They feature a relaxed fit, with a comfortable rise, relaxed hip and thigh, and a straight leg.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel stiff after washing
This is normal for ripstop fabric and often softens after a few wears. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating.
Water resistance seems reduced
The DWR treatment may need reapplication after extensive use and washing. Consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR restorer designed for outdoor apparel.
Pocket closures are difficult
Ensure pockets are not overstuffed. Some pocket designs may require a slight break-in period for smoother operation.
Waistband feels too tight/loose
The side elastic waistband provides some adjustability. For a more precise fit, wear a sturdy belt through the extra-large belt loops.
