FAQs

What type of activities are these pants best suited for?

These pants are ideal for mountaineering, technical climbing, alpine tours, ridge traverses, and other strenuous outdoor activities in varied mountain conditions where breathability, stretch, and durability are required.

Are these pants waterproof?

No, these are softshell pants, not hardshell. They offer excellent wind resistance and water *repellency* due to a DWR treatment, but they are not fully waterproof and are designed for breathability during active pursuits.

How do I choose the correct size?

The sizing is based on UK dress sizes. It is recommended to consult the Mammut size chart and measure your waist and inseam to ensure the best fit. Referencing the product's specific measurements for UK 10 is advised.

Can I wear a base layer underneath?

Yes, the pants are designed to accommodate a lightweight to mid-weight base layer for added warmth in colder conditions. Ensure the base layer is not too bulky to maintain comfort and mobility.

What is FLEXGUARD technology?

FLEXGUARD is Mammut's proprietary technology that combines multiple performance fabrics to achieve a balance of breathability, stretch, and durability, enabling unhindered movement and comfort during intense physical activity.

How should I clean the pants to maintain their performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a specialized technical wash. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry, and iron on a low setting if needed. Do not dry clean.

Are the ripstop inserts made from recycled materials?

Yes, the inserts made from double-weave ripstop at the knee and lower leg are constructed from 92% recycled nylon, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Troubleshooting

Pants feel restrictive during movement.

Ensure the size is correct and check that the adjustable hem is not too tight, which can bunch up fabric. The inherent stretch of the FLEXGUARD technology should allow for a full range of motion.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Avoid using lubricants that can attract dirt. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Reduced water repellency after some use.

The pants have a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish that can diminish over time. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment designed for softshell fabrics following the product's instructions.

Abrasion marks on knee or lower leg areas.

While the ripstop inserts offer protection, excessive abrasion can still occur. Ensure the fit is not too tight, which could cause rubbing. For significant damage, repair may be necessary.
