Which size should I choose?

These trousers run large and have a roomy fit at the hips: choose a size down from your usual size. Sizes range from XS to 3XL, and the size guide on the product page gives the measurements for each.

Which leg length should I choose?

The side zips run to the bottom of the legs, making hemming difficult, so it's best to choose the right length when ordering. For women under 162 cm, the short version has legs 6 cm shorter. Select it using the version selector on the product page.

Do the leg zips rub when walking?

Side zips let you remove the legs without taking off your shoes, while a flap covers the zips inside and out. It may take a few outings to get used to fastening them at the thigh.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

Eight pockets, including two hidden ones for your passport and documents: two hand pockets, two cargo pockets and two back pockets, plus an almost invisible outer pocket and a concealed inner pocket.

How does the mosquito-repellent treatment work?

The INSECT-STOPPER treatment, applied to the fabric, repels mosquitoes without odour, providing durable protection while the garment is worn. It is a biocidal product containing the active substance permethrin; it may cause skin sensitisation. It protects covered areas: use a skin repellent on exposed skin.

Does it protect against the sun?

The fabric has a UPF 50+ rating and filters UV rays on covered areas. Once the legs are detached, your calves are exposed: remember to apply sunscreen.

What fabric are these trousers made from?

The main fabric is 100% polyamide and the inner mesh is 100% polyester, with no elastane: the fabric does not stretch. The waistband is partly elasticated for greater comfort at the waist. The traceability information notes that washing releases plastic microfibres.

How should I care for these trousers and preserve their treatment?

Machine wash at 30 °C on a normal cycle. Do not bleach or dry-clean, and avoid ironing at too high a temperature: this helps preserve the mosquito-repellent treatment. The fabric dries quickly.

What are the delivery times for this product?

All orders placed by midnight are prepared the next day. In France, orders placed before 1 pm (excluding weekends) with Chronopost 24h are dispatched the same day. Delivery then depends on the carrier and takes 1 to 4 days in France. Delivery times for Europe and the rest of the world vary by destination.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers particularly appreciate its comfort, lightness and practicality: several find it very pleasant to wear, easy to adjust with a belt and suitable for travel or hiking. Some also praise the quick-drying fabric, while one customer describes it as warm and perfect. The main reservation concerns the fit: it often comes up large, and the legs are frequently considered too long, sometimes by more than 10 cm. Check the size guide carefully and consider alterations, as the side zip prevents hemming.

Lovely trousers which fit well apart from the length - they are far too long for me. I am returning them but in the meantime have ordered another pair in the shorter length.

This is the second time I bought this type of pants. They are of very good quality and are perfect for intensive hiking because they are very light, dry very quickly and protect from the sun and heat. It is very well cut. It is a little big for a 38. This time, the fabric is not the same as the first time but it looks very good.

So, I've already tested these pants for the first time on a hike, and they're super comfortable. They're a regular size, meaning the L fits perfectly. The material is lovely and feels very light against the skin. All in all, they're really nice pants, and what's more, they're zip-off pants, so you can also wear them as shorts, which is a great advantage. I even hiked in them through the rain, and afterwards they were still perfectly clean. So the material is also dirt-repellent.

Hello, The trousers are perfectly cut in terms of size. At 1.66m tall, I ordered the regular length, but they turned out to be at least 6cm too long. So I returned them and ordered the shorter version, designed for someone 1.62m and shorter. This style is perfect, even though I have rather long legs. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with the cut, the fabric, and all the practical pockets and accessories.
