These essential pieces of outdoor gear are designed to keep you dry and comfortable in even the most challenging conditions.

Comfort features are paramount in our selection. Many trousers boast elasticated waistbands with toggle adjusters for a secure fit, while others include belt loops for added versatility. Ventilation zips help regulate temperature during high-exertion activities, ensuring you stay comfortable whether you're skinning up a backcountry slope or navigating a rainy trail.

They should fit comfortably over your regular trousers, with an elasticated or adjustable waistband for security and freedom of movement. Adjustable ankle cuffs or zips help seal out water and make them easy to put on or remove over boots. 

Avoid regular detergents and fabric softeners, which can damage waterproof coatings. Use a technical cleaner or wash-in proofer, wash on a gentle cycle, and air dry or tumble dry on low if permitted to reactivate the DWR finish. Brush off dirt when possible, and reapply DWR when water stops beading on the surface. 

Yes, dirt, wear, and frequent washing can reduce waterproofing and breathability. Regular cleaning with the right products and periodic reproofing will help maintain performance and extend the lifespan of your trousers.
