Can I wear a belt with these pants?

Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface
The DWR coating may be wearing off. Wash the pants to remove dirt/oils and re-apply a DWR-safe spray treatment.
Waist fit feels loose during activity
Ensure the internal drawstring toggles are pulled taut and locked; use a belt through the rear belt tunnel for additional stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Exploration Reg Tapered Pants, prioritize proper fit adjustment using the drawstring toggles at the waist. For care, always refer to the garment's internal care label. Generally, wash in cold water with a mild, technical-friendly detergent to preserve the water-repellent finish. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the breathability of the fabric and degrade the DWR coating. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the stretch fibers; if you use a dryer, choose a low heat setting. Periodically reapplying a DWR treatment spray can help restore the water-shedding performance if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
