FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for winter hiking?

They are lightweight and breathable, so they are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn. In winter, they may require a warmer base layer underneath.

Do these have pockets?

The Alex II design focuses on a streamlined, minimal fit; please check your specific model tag for integrated pocket features.

How should I choose my size?

These follow standard UK women's dress sizing. Refer to the size guide to match your measurements for the best fit.

Can I wear these for gym workouts?

Yes, their quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties make them highly suitable for high-intensity indoor training.

Is the fabric opaque?

Yes, the polyester construction is designed to provide full coverage and durability during active movement.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems less effective over time

The DWR finish may need reactivation. Washing with a technical garment cleaner and tumble drying on a very low heat setting can often restore the repellency.

Visible snagging in the fabric

Avoid contact with sharp rocks or thorns. If a thread is pulled, do not cut it; use a needle to carefully pull the thread back through to the inside of the garment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UPF 50+ sun protection for hot climates
  • Water-repellent finish handles light showers effectively
  • Lightweight and quick-drying material is perfect for travel
  • Supports a wide range of motion for hiking and climbing

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme cold weather conditions
  • Limited to one colour option (Black) across all sizes
  • Polyester material lacks the soft 'cotton' feel of some lifestyle leggings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These leggings do not require any specialized setup. For optimal longevity, follow standard care guidelines for technical polyester fabrics:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, synthetic cycle (30 degrees recommended).
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The quick-drying properties mean they will typically dry within a few hours if hung up.
  3. Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners or bleaching agents, as these can degrade the H2OShield water-repellent treatment.
  4. Compatibility: These pair well with lightweight waterproof shells and base layer tops for a modular layering system.
