FAQs
Are these pants insulated?
No, these are hardshell pants designed for waterproof and windproof protection. They do not have insulation and are intended to be layered over other clothing for warmth.
Can I wear these for high-exertion activities like running?
Yes, their lightweight and breathable design makes them suitable for high-exertion activities like running or cycling, especially in wet conditions. The lower-leg zippers can be opened for extra ventilation.
How do I clean the DWR coating?
The DWR coating is reactivated by heat. Tumble drying on a low heat setting after washing typically restores its performance. If performance is still diminished, a specific DWR re-treatment product can be applied.
What does 'HS' stand for in the product name?
'HS' typically stands for 'Hardshell' in Mammut's product naming convention, indicating its waterproof and windproof outer layer construction.
Are there any pockets on these pants?
These pants feature a minimalist design, and typically do not include traditional pockets to save on weight and bulk. Please check the product specifications for exact pocket details.
How durable are these pants for rough terrain?
The polyester material offers good durability for general outdoor use. For extremely rough terrain or activities with high abrasion risk, consider a more robustly constructed pant.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside despite being waterproof.
This could be due to internal condensation. Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers and that the pants are not too tight. Open the lower leg zippers for ventilation if needed.
Water is not beading on the outer surface.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions to restore water repellency.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zippers with a brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers to ensure smooth operation.
Elastic waistband feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the internal drawstring to achieve the most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the drawstring is tied securely.
