Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Zeno Full Zip Waterproof Pants are designed for adult males seeking unrestricted movement during hiking, trekking, and hill walking. Their key benefit is reliable waterproof and windproof protection in a lightweight, packable design. A potential caveat is that the Active Fit, while excellent for mobility, is sized to layer over other trousers, which might feel slightly looser if worn alone.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of these pants?

These pants are designed as waterproof overtrousers to be worn over other clothing, providing protection from rain and wind during outdoor activities like hiking and trekking.

Are these pants suitable for very cold weather?

They are designed for waterproof protection. For cold weather, they are best layered over insulating trousers to provide warmth.

How do I clean the pants?

Machine wash at 40°C with a liquid detergent, no fabric softener, and rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Reapply DWR after washing.

What does 'Active Fit' mean for these pants?

Active Fit means the cut is designed for freedom of movement. It includes articulated knees and a tailored leg, sized to be worn comfortably over other trousers without excess bulk.

What is the warranty on these pants?

Mountain Equipment backs these pants with their Product Lifetime Guarantee.

What is the weight of the pants?

The pants weigh approximately 230g (8.1oz).

Are these pants fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature 2.5-layer DRILITE® 50D fabric with a 20,000mm hydrostatic head rating and 15mm taped seams, ensuring complete waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the surface.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Wash the garment and then apply a new PFC-free DWR treatment.

Water is penetrating the fabric (leaking).

The taped seams might be damaged, or the fabric's waterproof membrane may be compromised. Contact customer support for inspection and potential repair under the Product Lifetime Guarantee.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the teeth. Once dry, lubricate with a silicone-based zip lubricant.

Pants feel clammy inside during activity.

Ensure the full-length zips are partially or fully open for ventilation. The breathability rating (RET: 12,000 g/m²/24hr) is good but may be exceeded during very high-intensity exercise in humid conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection.
  • Lightweight and easy to pack.
  • Designed for maximum freedom of movement.
  • Full-length zips offer great ventilation and ease of use with boots.
  • Durable construction with taped seams.

Cons

  • Active Fit may feel slightly loose if not layered over trousers.
  • Primarily designed as overtrousers, not standalone casual pants.
  • PFAS-free DWR may require more frequent reapplication than traditional treatments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are overtrousers, designed to be worn over existing clothing. Ensure you have chosen the correct size to comfortably fit over your preferred hiking trousers.

Compatibility: The adjustable hem and full-length zips are designed to fit securely over a wide range of hiking boots. The Active Fit is engineered to accommodate standard hiking trousers underneath without feeling restrictive.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and powders. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Waterproofing Treatment: Reapply a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing, following the product's instructions, to maintain optimal water repellency.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in a tightly packed stuff sack to maintain fabric breathability.
