FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are splash-proof and water-resistant thanks to H2OShield technology, meaning they handle light showers well but are not fully waterproof for heavy rain.
Can I use these for climbing?
While durable, they do not have the high-degree of four-way stretch found in dedicated rock climbing trousers.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash cool with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach to protect the technical fabric coatings.
Do they provide sun protection?
Yes, they are rated UPF 50+ to help protect skin from UV radiation.
What if the waist size is too tight?
Since the waist is fixed, we recommend utilizing the belt loops for a secure fit or considering a size up if you prefer layering base layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; use a garment-safe re-proofer spray to restore water repellency.
Stains not coming out after washing
Spot treat stains with a gentle laundry soap before a full wash cycle, ensuring you do not use harsh bleach.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, utilize the built-in belt loops with your preferred hiking belt, as the trousers feature a fixed waistline. These trousers are compatible with most standard hiking boots and trail shoes, thanks to their standard leg cut. For care, wash the trousers in cool water with mild detergent to preserve the H2OShield and Solarshield coatings. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking and protective properties of the technical fabric. Always air dry when possible to maintain the integrity of the material's protective treatments.
