FAQs
Are these trousers warm enough for winter?
They are designed as a shell layer to protect against rain and wind; they provide no thermal insulation on their own.
How do I pack them away?
The trousers can be rolled or folded compactly to fit inside the provided storage bag.
Can I wash them in a machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Avoid using fabric softener as it can damage the waterproof finish.
Are they breathable?
Yes, they feature a breathability rating of 1500g/m²/24hrs to allow moisture vapor to escape during activity.
Are these trousers unisex?
This specific line is cut specifically for a women's fit.
Can I wear them over jeans?
Yes, the relaxed fit is intended to be pulled over standard clothing, though you may prefer a slightly larger size if you plan to wear them over very thick denim.
Troubleshooting
Water starting to penetrate the surface
The outer DWR coating may need a refresh. Use a reproofing spray specifically designed for waterproof nylon fabrics.
Hems are dragging or getting dirty
Use the touch-fastening tabs to cinch the hem tighter around your ankles or boots to lift the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trousers stay in peak condition, always store them dry after use. To clean, use a gentle machine wash cycle with technical detergent if necessary, and air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the waterproof coating. These trousers are designed to be worn over standard trousers, so consider your size needs when wearing them over thicker outdoor leggings or hiking pants. For best results, secure the touch-fastening hems tightly around your footwear to prevent water from splashing up into the trouser legs.
