FAQs
Are these trousers completely windproof?
Yes, the ISOTEX 20000 fabric provides effective wind protection in addition to its waterproof properties.
Can I wear these for casual daily use?
While durable enough for daily use, they are technically engineered for trekking and outdoor activities.
How do I choose the right size?
These trousers are sized by waist measurements. Refer to the size guide for a 42-inch waist to ensure the best fit.
Do these trousers have a thermal lining?
No, they are designed as a protective waterproof shell, meaning they focus on weather protection rather than insulation.
Can I use standard laundry detergent?
It is highly recommended to use specialized tech-wash detergents to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
Are the zippers waterproof?
The zipped pockets are designed to keep items secure, but we recommend placing sensitive electronics in an additional dry bag during heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting

The DWR coating may need refreshing. Use a wash-in or spray-on DWR restorer after cleaning the garment.
Build-up of moisture inside the trousers
Ensure you are using breathable base layers; avoid cotton which traps sweat. Open any adjustable vents if available to improve airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your waterproof trousers, proper care is essential. Always follow the garment's wash label instructions, which typically recommend washing with technical gear detergents to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable pores of the fabric and reduce performance. After washing, low-heat tumble drying can often help reactivate the water-repellent finish. When storing, ensure the trousers are completely dry to prevent mildew. These trousers are designed to be worn over technical leggings or directly as outerwear depending on the temperature and your preference for layering.
