FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, they have a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which is intended for light moisture, not sustained heavy rain.
How do these protect against insects?
The protection is physical; the fabric is woven with a high density that makes it difficult for insects to bite through.
Can I tumble dry these trousers?
It is generally best to air dry them to protect the integrity of the synthetic fibers and coatings.
What is the material composition?
They are constructed from durable, high-performance polyester.
Are these suitable for tropical climates?
Yes, their lightweight construction and insect-resistant properties make them an excellent choice for warm, humid trekking.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a liquid detergent rather than powder, and perform an extra rinse cycle to ensure all soap residue is removed.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required; simply choose the correct size based on the UK sizing chart. To maintain the integrity of the performance fabrics, wash your trousers in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish and compromise the breathability of the polyester. For drying, air drying is recommended to extend the lifespan of the garment and the effectiveness of the water-repellent treatment. If you notice the trousers are no longer shedding water effectively after prolonged use, you can re-apply a standard DWR spray treatment to restore the factory finish.
