FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for heavy downpours?
Yes, the ISOTEX 20000 fabric is rated for high levels of protection against heavy rain.
Can I machine wash these trousers?
Yes, machine wash on a cool setting with a non-biological, technical cleaner.
Do these provide warmth in winter?
They are waterproof shells; while they offer wind protection, you should wear thermal base layers underneath for cold-weather insulation.
What does the 20000 rating mean?
It refers to the hydrostatic head test, indicating the fabric can withstand a column of water 20,000mm high before moisture penetrates.
Are they breathable?
Yes, the ISOTEX technology is specifically designed to allow moisture vapor to escape during strenuous activity.
Can I tumble dry them?
It is generally recommended to air dry to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the fabric surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off; re-apply a technical waterproofing spray and activate it with low heat per manufacturer instructions.
Feeling damp inside the trousers while hiking
This is often caused by trapped perspiration; ensure you are not overdressed underneath and allow for ventilation if the weather clears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure you select the correct waist size for your body type, as the tailored fit of these trousers works most effectively when they are not overly loose or tight. These are ideal for layering; they can easily be worn over thermal base layers in winter. To care for your trousers, wash them in cool water using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the microscopic pores of the membrane and compromise breathability. For drying, drip-dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to protect the waterproof coating.
