Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, they feature a brushed-back finish for warmth, though you may want to layer them under waterproof trousers in very cold or windy conditions.

What does the UPF 50+ protection do?

It blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, protecting your skin during long periods of outdoor exposure.

Can I use fabric softener when washing these?

No. Fabric softeners leave a residue that clogs the moisture-wicking pores of the synthetic fabric, reducing its performance.

Do these leggings have pockets?

They include a practical pocket designed to store small, lightweight essentials securely.

Is the H2OShield treatment eco-friendly?

Yes, it is a plant-based water-repellent treatment derived from renewable sources.

How should I measure for the best fit?

Use a measuring tape to find your natural waist and hip measurements, then consult the size guide to match with the UK dress sizing provided.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beading on the surface

The H2OShield treatment may have worn off. Clean the garment thoroughly and apply a technical spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.

Fabric feels damp after light exercise

Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers on top. The moisture-wicking properties work best when the garment can release vapor into the air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties
  • Provides UPF 50+ sun protection
  • Brushed-back interior offers added warmth
  • Durable, water-repellent plant-based treatment
  • Comfortable high-rise fit for active use

Cons

  • Water-repellent coating may wear off over time
  • Limited storage space with only one pocket
  • Not suitable for extreme freezing temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your leggings maintain their technical properties, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle using a technical fabric detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the H2OShield and moisture-wicking treatments.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the synthetic fibers.
  3. Water-Repellency Refresh: Over time, the water-repellent finish may fade. You can reactivate this by tumble drying on a low heat setting or using a specialized wash-in reproofing agent if necessary.
  4. Compatibility: The slim fit is designed to be worn alone or easily layered under overtrousers for more intense storm conditions.
