FAQs

What is DRILITE fabric?

DRILITE is Mountain Equipment's waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric.

Are these trousers insulated?

No, these are waterproof over-trousers designed to be worn over other layers for warmth.

What is the benefit of the full-length side zips?

The full-length side zips allow for easy on and off, even with boots on, and provide ventilation.

How do I clean the trousers?

Are the trousers eco-friendly?

What is the warranty on these trousers?

How do I choose the correct size?

Can I use these trousers for skiing?

These trousers are primarily designed for hiking and trekking, but can be used for other outdoor activities where weather protection is needed. They may not offer the specific features or insulation found in dedicated ski pants.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the trousers.

Check if the DWR treatment is worn out; reapply DWR treatment. Inspect the seams and zippers for any damage or wear.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Ensure zippers are clean from debris and lubricate them with zipper wax or a similar product.

Trousers feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have the correct size and have adjusted the waistband for a comfortable fit.
