FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are designed to be quick-drying and lightweight, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. We recommend zipping the legs together before washing.
Do I need to take off my boots to zip off the legs?
No, the zip-off sections are designed to be removed while wearing standard hiking boots.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester blend is inherently breathable, making it suitable for active outdoor use in warm or temperate conditions.
Are these suitable for climbing?
While durable for hiking, they lack high-stretch properties, so they are better suited for trekking rather than technical climbing.
Troubleshooting
Zip is stuck or difficult to close
Check the track for fabric snags or debris; clean with a soft brush and ensure the zip is properly aligned.
Fabric feels damp after drying
Ensure the trousers are hung in a well-ventilated area with proper airflow; avoid stacking them while damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Explorer Zip-Off Trousers remain in peak condition, always fully zip the legs before washing to prevent the zippers from snagging on other items in the machine. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the quick-drying performance of the polyester. For the best longevity, air-dry the trousers on a hanger away from direct, high-intensity heat sources. When packing for a trip, these trousers pair well with moisture-wicking base layers for added comfort in varying climates.
