FAQs
Are these pants suitable for winter mountaineering?
Yes, they are suitable for varied outdoor adventures, though in extreme sub-zero conditions, you should layer them over appropriate thermal base layers.
Can I wash these in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric cleaner and avoid fabric softeners.
Are the zippers waterproof?
The zippers are designed for outdoor use; however, always ensure they are fully closed to maximize protection.
What is GORE-TEX ePE?
It is a high-performance, durable, and lightweight waterproof membrane that provides excellent protection while minimizing environmental impact.
How do I choose the right size?
The Ridge-Seeker range includes various UK sizing options; refer to the manufacturer's size guide for your dress size and ensure there is room for movement.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the fabric surface
The DWR coating is wearing off. Wash the garment and tumble dry on low heat, or re-apply a technical DWR spray.
Feeling damp inside the pants
Ensure you are using the side zippers for ventilation during high-exertion activities to prevent moisture buildup from sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ridge-Seeker pants, use the internal elastic waistband to achieve a comfortable, snug fit before layering them over your base or mid-layers. The pants are compatible with standard hiking boots and cycling shoes, with the adjustable cuffs providing a tight seal.
Care instructions are vital for maintaining the GORE-TEX membrane. Always wash in cold water using a technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent, which can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish, and periodically apply a fresh spray-on DWR treatment if you notice water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
