FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They are not fully waterproof, but they are water-repellent and feature Smartdry technology for quick drying.

Do they provide protection from insects?

Yes, they feature integrated insect repellent properties to help deter insects during outdoor activities.

What is the UPF rating?

The trousers have a UPF 40+ rating, providing significant protection against UV rays.

Are they suitable for winter hiking?

They are lightweight and breathable, so they are better suited for mild to warm weather. For winter, you may need a thermal base layer underneath.

How do I ensure I get the right fit?

The trousers are sized by UK dress size. Refer to the specific measurements and note the 'Short' leg length of 28 inches for this model.

Troubleshooting

Fabric snagging on rough terrain

While durable, avoid contact with sharp thorns or barbed wire; if a small snag occurs, trim loose threads carefully with fabric scissors.

Water repellency appears to weaken

Over time, the DWR-style finish may need refreshing. Use a specialized wash-in treatment designed for synthetic outdoor technical clothing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trousers are designed to be worn as a primary base layer for outdoor activities. To maintain the integrity of the technical fabrics, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the moisture-wicking and protective coatings.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The quick-dry fabric allows these to dry rapidly when hung in a well-ventilated area.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, but generally, the crease-resistant nature of the polyamide blend means ironing is rarely required.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the efficacy of the Solarshield UV treatment.
