FAQs

Are these trousers fully waterproof or just water-resistant?

These trousers are described as water-repellent and are designed to block rain, indicating strong water resistance suitable for moderate conditions. For extreme downpours, fully waterproof garments might be necessary.

Can I wear these in very cold weather?

These trousers are lightweight and focus on protection from water. For very cold conditions, consider wearing a thermal base layer underneath for added insulation.

How do I know if I need to re-proof the trousers?

If water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, but instead soaks in, it's a good time to consider re-proofing.

What is the benefit of zipped cuffs?

Zipped cuffs can make it easier to put on and take off the trousers, especially over hiking boots. They also allow for adjustable ventilation.

Are these suitable for trekking or just casual hiking?

They are suitable for both. Their lightweight, durable, and packable nature makes them ideal for trekking, while their comfort and protection are beneficial for casual hikes.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid detergents with bleach, fabric softeners, or strong additives, as these can damage the fabric's performance.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the trousers according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Consider reapplying a specific water-repellent treatment suitable for outdoor apparel.

Trousers feel clammy or less breathable.

Ensure you are not wearing excessive base layers. Check that the fabric is not heavily soiled, as dirt can affect breathability. Wash gently as per care instructions.

Zippers on cuffs are difficult to use or snag.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to help them slide smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides good protection against light rain and general moisture.
  • Lightweight and easy to pack, ideal for travel.
  • Offers good breathability to prevent overheating during activity.
  • Designed for comfortable movement during hiking and other outdoor pursuits.
  • Durable construction for reliable use over time.

Cons

  • Water resistance may be insufficient for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe rain.
  • May not offer significant insulation for very cold conditions.
  • Zipped cuffs might require careful handling to prevent snagging.
  • Best suited for active use; may lack the ruggedness for extreme expedition conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no specific setup. Simply wear them as you would any other pair of pants. Ensure the zipped cuffs are securely fastened if they feature them, to prevent unwanted opening.

Compatibility: Designed for general outdoor use, these trousers are compatible with most hiking boots and outdoor footwear. They can be worn over base layers for added warmth or directly over shorts/underwear in milder conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent treatment.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not bleach or iron.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically, you may need to re-apply a water-repellent finish using a specialized spray or wash-in treatment to maintain optimal performance, especially after numerous washes. Follow the product instructions for re-proofing agents.
