Berghaus Hillwalker 2.0 Pant - Black - 18

Yes, the 2L ePE GORE-TEX fabric provides excellent protection from wind and rain, and the room around the knees allows for layering with thermal base layers for winter conditions.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Yes, the trousers feature an elastic drawcord at the front waist for adjustment and a hem adjustment to enhance weather protection.

PFAS-free means the materials used in the DWR treatment are free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals that can be persistent in the environment. This indicates a more environmentally conscious manufacturing process.

Yes, the trousers feature long two-way side zips that allow for quick on/off and can be opened from either the top or bottom for ventilation.

Once the DWR wears off, you can re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Tumble drying after application helps to reactivate the finish.

Knee articulation means the knee area of the trousers is shaped and constructed to allow for a greater range of motion, reducing restriction when bending or moving your legs.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-application. Follow care instructions for re-proofing.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Ensure no dirt or debris is caught in the teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.

Ensure the garment is clean; dirt and oils can impede breathability. Check that the ventilation zips are open as needed during activity. Consider washing with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics.

Adjust the waist drawcord for a better fit. Ensure you are not over-layering to the point of restriction. The articulated knees are designed for movement, but fit can vary individually.
