FAQs
Can these be worn over hiking boots?
Yes, the design allows them to be slipped over most standard hiking footwear, provided you use the calf adjustments to manage the excess volume.
Are these trousers noisy when walking?
Like most technical rain gear, there is some rustle, but the mesh lining helps dampen sound compared to unlined waterproof shells.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the water-repellent treatment is free from perfluorinated chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment.
Do they provide warmth in winter?
They are primarily wind and rain shells. In cold conditions, they are designed to be worn over thermal base layers for added warmth.
How do I determine the right size?
Because they are designed for a loose fit to accommodate layers, choose your standard trouser size for a comfortable, spacious fit.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the outer fabric and tumble dry on low to reactivate the protective layer.
Feeling damp inside during high activity
While the fabric is breathable, ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking synthetic or wool base layers rather than cotton to optimize moisture management.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the mTEX 10,000 membrane, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash at low temperatures using a specialized technical fabric detergent. Avoid heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-treat the exterior DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating if you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric.
- Storage: Ensure the trousers are completely dry before packing them into a small space to prevent mold or odors from developing on the mesh lining.
