FAQs
Are these pants fully waterproof?
No, they feature a DWR (durable water repellent) finish which makes them water-resistant against light rain and showers, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for mild winter conditions, but due to their lightweight design, you may want to layer them with thermal leggings for insulation in freezing temperatures.
How do I ensure the correct size for the waist?
The Holmside pants are true to size. We recommend measuring your natural waistline and comparing it to the size label, utilizing the belt loops for final fit adjustments.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The front patch pockets are designed for general utility, while the secure zipped rear pocket is the safest place for a smartphone or keys.
Can I iron these trousers?
It is generally not recommended to iron technical softshell clothing, as high heat can damage the polyester fibers and the DWR treatment.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric during light rain
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray.
Bungee cord in the hem is not holding position
Check the cord lock for any debris or sand and rinse with warm water. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Holmside Pants maintain their functionality over time, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Re-treating: After several washes, the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish will decrease. Use a spray-on or wash-in DWR revitalizer to restore performance.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, use a very low heat setting to help reactivate the DWR finish, but do not overheat the polyester fabric.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid long-term storage while damp to prevent mildew.
