FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, these trousers feature a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish and are water-repellent, meaning they will shed light rain and splashes. They are not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What material are these trousers made from?
The trousers are crafted from Polyester, featuring woven stretch fabric and ripstop stretch fabric in key areas for durability.
Do these trousers have pockets?
Yes, they are multi-pocketed and include secure front and rear zipped pockets to keep your valuables safe during activities.
Are they suitable for cold weather?
They feature windproof softshell fabric which provides good protection against wind. For very cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended as they do not have specific insulation.
How do I maintain the water-repellent feature?
Wash them according to the care label, avoiding fabric softeners. If the DWR finish diminishes over time, you can re-apply it using a suitable DWR re-proofing product designed for technical outdoor fabrics.
What is ripstop fabric?
Ripstop is a woven fabric, often nylon or polyester, that is resistant to tearing and ripping. During weaving, thicker reinforcement threads are interwoven in a crosshatch pattern, making it highly durable.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
This is normal over time. Wash the trousers as per care instructions, then consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product.
Trousers feel restrictive during movement.
Ensure you have the correct size. The stretch fabric is designed for movement, but an incorrect size may limit its effectiveness. If new, the fabric may need a few wears to fully adapt.
Zippers are stiff or sticking.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. A small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite pencil lead can help smooth operation.
Fabric feels damp after light rain.
While water-repellent, the trousers are not fully waterproof. In persistent or heavy rain, some moisture may penetrate. For full waterproof protection, consider specific waterproof overtrousers.
Unpleasant odor develops after use.
Wash the trousers promptly after outdoor activities. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and odors. Avoid prolonged storage of damp garments.

Care
To ensure the longevity of your trousers and maintain their performance, especially the DWR finish:
- Washing: Machine wash according to the care label instructions. Generally, wash at a low temperature with a technical fabric wash or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the DWR finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or hang to air dry. Heat can help reactivate the DWR finish. Do not bleach or iron at high temperatures.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. You can restore water repellency by applying a DWR re-proofing product, following the manufacturer's instructions for the specific product.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
