FAQs

Are the Ibex Mountain Pants waterproof?

No, they are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. They will protect against light rain and snow, but for heavy precipitation, consider using waterproof over-trousers.

What is the best way to clean the pants?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or air dry.

How do I maintain the DWR coating?

Iron the pants on a low setting after washing to reactivate the DWR. Alternatively, you can re-apply a DWR treatment.

Can I use these pants for rock climbing?

Yes, the Ibex Mountain Pants are suitable for activities like scrambling and rock climbing, thanks to their freedom of movement and durable fabric.

What kind of base layers are compatible with these pants?

Any standard base layer appropriate for the temperature and activity. Consider materials like merino wool or synthetic fabrics for moisture-wicking properties.

What is the warranty on these pants?

Mountain Equipment provides a Product Lifetime Guarantee, backing up their build quality.

Are the pockets big enough to hold a smartphone?

Yes, the pockets are designed to hold essential items, including most smartphones, although it depends on the size of your phone and the pocket.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

The pants are water-resistant, not waterproof. Re-apply a DWR treatment. Consider wearing waterproof over-trousers in heavy rain.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zippers.

Pants feel too tight.

Ensure you have the correct size. Check the fit around the waist and legs, and consider going up a size if necessary. Ensure the integrated belt isn't too tight.
