How to wash hiking trousers & shorts

There are a few simple rules to follow to ensure the longevity of your Montane legwear. We always recommend that you consult the care labels ahead of any wash or drying process.

How do I wash my Montane legwear?

Always check the wash care labels first and wash according to these instructions! Wash on a gentle machine cycle with a non-biological detergent (without a built-in fabric softener). Ensure all zips and hook and loop sections are fastened so the garment maintains its shape in the wash cycle.

After the detergent wash, place on an additional rinse cycle. Dry according to care label instructions. Montane does not recommend that you dry clean or bleach your Montane outdoor trousers, shorts and other legwear.

How to reproof your trousers

Some legwear is treated with a DWR to help shed light rain showers. If you think this needs rejuvenating, you can spray the outside of the legwear with a reputable DWR re-proofer when wet, after washing. Make sure your legwear is fully clean before doing so. Once applied, dry according to care label instructions.
