FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) coating which makes them water-resistant against light showers and spray, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these with knee pads?
Yes, they are specifically designed with articulated knees and a cut that accommodates standard mountain biking knee pads.
How should I wash them?
Wash in cool water on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-repellent finish.
Are they suitable for road cycling?
While they can be used for road cycling, the tapered fit and abrasion-resistant material are optimized for the needs of mountain biking.
Do they have any reflective elements?
The trousers are designed primarily for trail performance; check the specific product batch for reflective branding details.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The zipped thigh pockets are designed to hold essentials like keys, multi-tools, or smaller smartphones securely while riding.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; wash the garment and re-apply a DWR-specific spray treatment.
Zipper sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean the zipper teeth of mud or trail grit with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Altura Esker Trail Trousers, machine wash them in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent DWR coating. It is recommended to air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface after extensive use, you can re-apply a standard DWR spray treatment to restore performance. These trousers are designed to fit true to size, but if you frequently wear bulky knee pads, consider checking the fit with your pads installed to ensure the articulated sections align correctly with your joints.
