Troubleshooting
Water seeping through fabric
Ensure the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is intact. If performance has degraded, clean the trousers and reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant for smoother operation.
Trousers feel cold
Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal base layers underneath. The trousers provide weather protection and some insulation, but are designed to work with layering systems.
