Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray after washing to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside during activity
This is likely due to trapped perspiration. Ensure your base layers are synthetic or wool rather than cotton, which holds moisture against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trousers in top condition, ensure you fasten the button and zip before placing them in the washing machine. Wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof garments to avoid stripping the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. For compatibility, the integrated belt loops allow you to wear a standard ski belt for extra security. Always hang-dry these trousers away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the synthetic polyester materials.
