Can I wear these for winter hiking?

What is the best way to clean them?
Machine wash on a cool setting with mild detergent and hang to dry.
Do they provide sun protection?
Yes, they feature built-in UV shielding of 50+, which helps block harmful rays during outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a standard DWR restorative treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Check for debris or grit in the zipper track. Use a soft brush to clear any obstructions and gently run the zipper back and forth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers feature a part-elasticated waist that provides a comfortable, secure fit without the need for constant adjustment. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- DWR Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore the water-beading performance after heavy usage.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded area to maintain the integrity of the fabric and UV protection; avoid high-heat tumble drying which can degrade synthetic fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
