FAQs
Are these trousers insulated?
No, these are 3-layer shell trousers designed for breathability and protection, not warmth. You should wear a base layer for insulation.
What does 10,000mm waterproof mean?
This rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before moisture begins to seep through, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain and snow.
Can I use these for hiking?
Yes, their breathable and lightweight design makes them excellent for wet-weather hiking as well as skiing.
Do they have pockets?
Yes, they feature two side pockets and two thigh pockets, all with secure zip closures.
How should I wash them?
Use a specialized technical cleaner on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores and reduce breathability.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the surface fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Trousers feel cold during use
These are 3-layer shell trousers. Ensure you are wearing appropriate thermal leggings or base layers to provide the necessary insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trousers last multiple seasons, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps.
- Layering: Use a synthetic or merino wool base layer underneath to manage moisture effectively.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a technical detergent designed for waterproof fabrics to avoid stripping the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry on high heat as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Hang the trousers in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them tightly for long periods to prevent creases in the membrane.
