FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, they provide a strong barrier against wind and rain, making them suitable for winter when paired with appropriate thermal base layers.
Can I wash these in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical wash detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable pores of the fabric.
Do these trousers stretch?
Yes, the ISOTEX 20000 fabric is designed with stretch properties to improve comfort and mobility while hiking.
How many pockets do they have?
These trousers feature two secure zipped pockets, ideal for storing small items like keys or trail snacks.
What is the waist sizing like?
The trousers feature a partially elasticated waist which provides a flexible fit for a wide range of waist sizes.
Do I need to wear waterproof overtrousers over these?
No, these are designed as standalone waterproof trousers and provide full protection against rain on their own.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the trousers with a technical cleaner and apply a re-proofing spray to restore the water-repellency.
Condensation build-up inside the trousers
While breathable, heavy exertion in very humid conditions can exceed the fabric's moisture-wicking capacity. Try adjusting your base layer or opening ventilation points if applicable.
Stiff or noisy fabric
This is common with high-performance waterproof membranes. The fabric will often soften slightly with regular use and proper washing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof rating for wet conditions
- Breathable material prevents overheating
- Articulated knees allow for unrestricted movement
- Comfortable fit due to the partially elasticated waist
- Durable construction suitable for rugged trails
Cons
- Requires regular re-proofing to maintain water repellency
- Polyester material may feel less breathable than natural fibers in extreme heat
- Limited pocket count for long-distance expedition needs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trousers remain effective, observe the following care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wash in cool water using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear to protect the membrane.
- Re-proofing: Periodically apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing to ensure water continues to bead off the fabric surface.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the sealed seams.
- Compatibility: These trousers pair well with high-cut hiking boots, as the cut allows for easy layering and overlap with footwear.
