These Women's Gamma SL All - Mountain Summer Adventure Pants are great for summer all - mountain adventures. To use them, simply put them on like regular pants. Adjust the low - profile waistbelt to fit comfortably under your hipbelt or harness. Put your smartphone and small essentials in the zippered hand pockets or the thigh pocket. When you're wearing boots, use the shock cord through the eyelets at the hem to hold the cuffs over your boots. As for maintenance, follow the care instructions on the label. Usually, you can machine - wash them in cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Let them air - dry to keep their shape and performance. And be careful not to snag the fabric on sharp objects to maintain their durability.
