FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are water-repellent thanks to the H2OShield finish, which helps in light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these in the winter?
These are lightweight technical trousers; while good for active use, they may not provide enough insulation for extreme cold without a base layer.
How do I maintain the sun protection factor?
The UPF protection is integrated into the fabric and does not wash out, provided you follow the standard care instructions.
What does 4-way stretch mean?
It means the fabric has been engineered to stretch both horizontally and vertically, providing greater flexibility.
Are these suitable for climbing?
Yes, their lightweight, agile, and stretchable nature makes them an excellent choice for climbing and scrambling.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking through the fabric in light rain
The H2OShield coating may need re-application; wash the garment to remove dirt and apply a DWR spray treatment.
Fabric feels restrictive during movement
Ensure the trousers are not oversized or undersized for your build; check that you are wearing the correct size for your frame.
Stains are difficult to remove
Pre-treat stained areas with a gentle fabric cleaner before placing them in the machine; avoid harsh chemical bleaches.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers feature a standard waist sizing for a precise fit; ensure you verify your measurement against the 40-inch waist specification. Regarding care, always wash the garment in cold or warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the H2OShield water-repellent coating. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers. To revitalize the water-repellent finish after repeated washings, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment.
