FAQs
What activities are these trousers most suitable for?
These trousers are ideal for hiking, trekking, backpacking, camping, and other general outdoor adventures where comfort, durability, and practical storage are important.
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, these trousers feature FlashDry technology for moisture-wicking properties, which helps keep you dry by moving sweat away from your skin. They are not waterproof and will not protect you in heavy rain. For wet conditions, consider adding waterproof outer layers.
What does 'FlashDry' technology do?
FlashDry is a fabric technology designed to act like a second skin, pushing moisture to the surface of the fabric where it quickly evaporates. This helps to keep you cool, dry, and comfortable during physical activity.
How should I wash and care for these trousers?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's performance. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the material and its wicking properties.
Do these trousers offer sun protection?
While the fabric provides a physical barrier from the sun's rays, a specific UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating is not provided for this product. Info needed: For specific sun protection capabilities, please check product labeling or The North Face's official website.
What is the fit like for these cargo trousers?
They feature a regular tapered fit. This means they have a normal waist, a high cut back for better coverage, a relaxed fit through the thighs for comfort, and then taper down towards the ankle for a clean look that works well with hiking footwear.
Can I wear these trousers in cold weather?
These are lightweight hiking trousers, designed for comfort in a range of conditions. For very cold weather, they are best used as an outer layer with appropriate thermal base layers underneath for added insulation.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive during movement.
Ensure you have the correct size. The stretch fabric is designed for freedom of movement; if it feels tight, consider a larger size or check if the tapered fit is suitable for your body type. Consult the brand's size guide if available.
Fabric isn't wicking moisture effectively.
Ensure the trousers are clean, as dirt, body oils, and fabric softener residue can impede FlashDry performance. Wash according to care instructions, specifically avoiding fabric softeners.
Pockets seem bulky or uncomfortable when loaded.
Distribute items evenly across all available pockets. For heavier or irregularly shaped items, consider using a backpack or hip pack to maintain comfort and balance during activity, reserving trouser pockets for lighter, frequently accessed items.
Trousers develop an odor after use.
Synthetic fabrics can sometimes retain odors. Wash promptly after use. For stubborn odors, try a sports detergent specifically designed for technical fabrics, or presoak in a solution of water and white vinegar before washing.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Exploration Cargo Trousers:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. It is recommended to turn the trousers inside out to protect the outer fabric.
- Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the FlashDry fabric's wicking properties and the overall material.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang dry in a well-ventilated area. High heat can damage synthetic fibers.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting, but avoid direct contact with any printed logos or specialized finishes.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
