These trousers are ready to wear immediately. Simply adjust the waist and hem shockcords to achieve your preferred fit. They are highly compatible with a wide range of outdoor and casual footwear, from hiking boots to trail shoes or even casual trainers. For care, it is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Always consult the garment's specific care label for detailed instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. Tumble dry on low or hang to air dry to maintain the fabric's integrity and DWR performance. If the DWR finish begins to degrade over time, specialist wash-in or spray-on treatments can be used to restore water repellency.
