FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, these trousers are designed with a DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish and are windproof, meaning they will repel light rain and block wind effectively. For heavy, continuous downpours, additional waterproof outerwear is recommended.
What activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, rambling, trekking, and other professional outdoor work where freedom of movement, durability, and protection from wind and light moisture are essential.
How should I wash these trousers to maintain their features?
Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh powders. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry, and do not iron the DWR coating directly.
Do these trousers offer good stretch for movement?
Yes, they are made with a woven stretch fabric and ripstop stretch fabric in key areas, providing excellent flexibility and allowing for a full range of motion during active use.
Are the pockets secure for valuables?
Absolutely. The trousers feature multiple pockets, including front and rear pockets that are zippered, ensuring your valuables remain secure during your activities.
What material are these trousers made from?
The main material is polyester, known for its durability, quick-drying properties, and resistance to shrinking and stretching. Strategic areas are reinforced with highly durable ripstop fabric.
Can I wear these trousers in cold weather?
While they are windproof, for very cold temperatures, they are best worn with a suitable thermal base layer underneath to provide adequate insulation. They are not designed as primary cold-weather insulation.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
The DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the trousers according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If this doesn't work, apply a commercial DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product.
Zippers feel stiff or are sticking.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. For stubborn stiffness, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or zipper wax) to the teeth, avoiding direct contact with the fabric.
Fabric appears less flexible or movement is restricted.
Ensure the trousers are clean, as accumulated dirt can reduce fabric flexibility. If fabric softener was used in previous washes, re-wash without it, as it can coat the fibers and reduce stretch. Air dry thoroughly.
Pilling or fuzz appears on the fabric.
Pilling is common with synthetic fabrics over time, especially in high-friction areas. Use a fabric shaver or a de-fuzzer tool to carefully remove the pills without damaging the fabric.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your ProLite Stretch Trousers. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the DWR finish and fabric fibers.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. High heat can damage the DWR coating and fabric elasticity. If tumble drying, check frequently.
- DWR Reapplication: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider reapplying a suitable DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
