Frequently Asked Questions
What are zip-off hiking pants?
Zip-off pants, also known as convertible hiking pants, feature zippers at the knees so you can easily remove the lower legs and turn them into shorts. They are ideal for variable weather and multi-day adventures.
What are they made from?
XTM’s Wye River and Sturgeon Zip-Off Pants are made using lightweight recycled nylon with added stretch for comfort, quick-dry performance, and sustainability. Choosing recycled fabric reduces waste and environmental impact without compromising durability.
Are XTM’s zip-off pants waterproof?
Our zip-off pants are not fully waterproof, but they are treated with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to resist light rain and dry quickly after exposure.
What sizes and fits are available?
Wye River Zip-Off Pant (Women’s): sizes 8 to 18, Regular Fit — designed to follow the shape of the body with ease added for movement.
Sturgeon Zip-Off Pant (Men’s): sizes S to 3XL, Regular Fit — comfortable and mobile for everyday wear.
How do I wash my zip-off pants?
Machine wash in cold water with similar colours. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Do not tumble dry; line dry in the shade for best results. Cool iron if required, but avoid ironing over zips or printed areas.
Are they a good choice for school camps?
Yes, they are an excellent choice for school camps, hiking trips, and everyday outdoor wear. Easy to wash, fast-drying, and built for movement.
