FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, these trousers feature a water-repellent finish, which means they can shed light rain and trail spray, but they are not fully waterproof and may soak through in prolonged heavy rain.
Can I wear knee pads with these trousers?
Yes, the articulated knee design is specifically made to accommodate knee pads comfortably without restricting movement.
How do I clean the trousers?
Machine wash cold with like colors and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.
What is the purpose of the articulated knees?
Articulated knees are pre-shaped and designed to allow for maximum freedom of movement, making pedaling and bending your knees more comfortable, especially when wearing knee pads.
How many pockets do these trousers have?
The trousers feature ample pocket space, typically including secure zip pockets for essential items.
What is the best way to maintain the water-repellent finish?
Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents when washing. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if you notice water no longer beads off the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency reduced
Clean the trousers thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
Waistband adjustment slips
Ensure the hook-and-loop or buckle system is securely fastened. If the material is worn, consider minor repairs or replacement.
Seams feel restrictive
Verify the trousers are the correct size and that the fit is not too tight. Articulated knees may require some break-in period.
