These trousers are suitable for use in winter if paired with appropriate base layers. They provide excellent wind and waterproof protection, but consider adding insulating layers for very cold conditions.

Machine wash in warm water (30°C) with a non-detergent soap. Avoid using fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.
What is the warranty on these trousers?
The Mountain Equipment Zeno Trousers are backed by a Product Lifetime Guarantee. This covers manufacturing defects and material failures.
What type of boots can I wear with these trousers?
The Zeno Trousers are designed to be worn with a variety of hiking and walking boots. The adjustable hem ensures a secure fit over different boot types.
Are the zips waterproof?
The full-length side zips are water-resistant. The trousers also include internal and external storm flaps for enhanced weather protection.
What is the DRILITE fabric?
DRILITE is Mountain Equipment’s own waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric, made with a 75% recycled membrane. The 50D version used in the Zeno Trousers provides a balance of performance and packability.
Can I iron these trousers?
No, do not iron these trousers. Heat can damage the waterproof membrane. If needed, you can use a low-heat setting on a tumble dryer.
Where are the trousers manufactured?

Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the trousers.
Check if the DWR treatment is still effective. If not, re-apply a suitable DWR treatment. Also, check the seams for any damage.
Zippers are difficult to operate.
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and apply a zipper lubricant.
Trousers feel too tight.
Ensure the correct size has been selected to accommodate layering. Adjust the waistband for a better fit.
