Full details
The Berghaus Big Wall Pant is designed for active climbers and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize durability and unrestricted mobility in challenging environments. Featuring a rugged ripstop face with added stretch, these pants offer superior protection against abrasions while maintaining a comfortable, relaxed fit. While the DWR finish provides effective light rain protection, users should note that these are not fully waterproof, making them best suited for dry to showery conditions rather than heavy, sustained rain.

FAQs
Are these pants waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which is designed to shed light rain and moisture, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.
What is the fit of these pants?
These pants have a relaxed fit with articulated knees to maximize mobility during climbing and high-intensity outdoor activities.
Can I use these for winter climbing?
While durable, these are not thermal-insulated pants. They are best suited for warmer seasons or as an outer layer over technical base layers.
How do I adjust the ankle cuffs?
The ankle cuffs feature integrated cordlocks. Simply pull the elastic cord and slide the lock to the desired tension to seal the pant against your footwear.
Are the zippers genuinely water-resistant?
Yes, the hip pockets utilize bonded, water-resistant zippers to provide added protection for small items against light rain and dampness.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off due to friction or dirt buildup. Wash the pants to remove contaminants and consider applying a DWR spray treatment.
Buckle feels loose during activity
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the buckle mechanism. If it continues to slip, check for debris caught in the buckle teeth.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of durability against rock and rough terrain
- Excellent freedom of movement due to knee articulation
- Adjustable waist and ankles for a custom, secure fit
- Water-resistant zippers keep pocket contents dry in light rain
Cons
- Not fully waterproof during heavy rainstorms
- Relaxed fit may not appeal to those preferring technical slim-fit gear
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berghaus Big Wall Pant, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the integrated buckle belt to dial in your waist size. If hiking in debris-heavy areas, use the ankle cordlocks to seal the pant hem against your boots.
- Storage: Always ensure the water-resistant hip pocket zippers are fully closed when not in use to maintain their protective integrity.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical gear detergent to preserve the DWR finish. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability of the fabric and degrade the water-repellent coating.
- Re-treating: If water stops beading on the surface after extensive use, apply a spray-on DWR replenishment product to restore functionality.
