Troubleshooting
Trousers feel wet inside
This could be due to trapped moisture from perspiration or a breakdown in the DWR finish. Ensure the garment is properly washed and reproofed according to care instructions. Check that ventilation points (if any) are not blocked.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR finish may need reapplication. Wash the trousers as per instructions and then apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure seams are sealed; if they appear damaged, professional repair might be needed.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a specific zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
Fit is too tight
While the fit is designed to be snug, utilize the adjustable waist and belt loops for minor adjustments. For significant discomfort, consider if this particular fit is suitable for your needs or explore alternative models.
