FAQs
Are these pants suitable for extreme cold weather?
While these pants offer excellent waterproofing and windproofing, they are designed as a waterproof shell. For extreme cold, layering with insulating base and mid-layers is recommended for optimal warmth.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the Berghaus sizing guide for accurate measurements. Pay attention to waist and inseam measurements. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Can I wear these for running?
These pants are designed for hiking and general outdoor activities. While they offer breathability, their weight and features might not be optimal for high-intensity running compared to specialized running gear.
What does 'three-layer GORE-TEX ePE' mean?
It refers to a construction where the waterproof, breathable membrane (ePE) is sandwiched between a durable outer fabric and an inner lining. This three-layer system offers excellent durability and comfort.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
The need for DWR reapplication depends on usage and care. Generally, if water no longer beads up on the fabric surface after washing and drying, it's time to reapply.
What is the warranty period for these pants?
Please refer to the Berghaus warranty policy for specific details regarding the warranty period and coverage for their products.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside, but the outer fabric is dry.
This could be due to inadequate ventilation or condensation. Open the leg zippers for better airflow. Ensure you are not overheating and consider layering appropriately for the temperature.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash the garment and then reapply a DWR treatment. Ensure the GORE-TEX membrane itself is not damaged.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for outdoor activities, these pants are compatible with most hiking boots and outdoor footwear. The adjustable cuffs accommodate various boot styles.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the GORE-TEX fabric:
- Washing: Machine wash warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting for at least 20 minutes, or until completely dry. This helps reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, apply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
