Hybrid Aero Zama Pant - Charcoal

Waxed cotton offers several unique advantages: it's biodegradable, repairable, ages beautifully with a unique patina, and can be maintained indefinitely through reproofing. Unlike synthetic materials that might end up in landfills when their waterproofing fails, waxed cotton gets better with age and proper care.

Water-resistant and waterproof are terms used to describe how well a material or product can resist water. The main difference between the two is the level of protection they offer against water.

Water-resistant means that the material or product can resist the penetration of water to some degree, but not entirely. It can withstand light rain or water splashes for a short time, but prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain can seep through the material and damage the contents of the item.

Waterproof, on the other hand, means that the material or product is entirely impervious to water and will not allow any water to penetrate. It is designed to withstand heavy rain, submersion in water, or other harsh weather conditions without allowing any water to seep through.

If your item is in stock and available for dispatch, it will be sent immediately. If your item is a pre-order or part of an upcoming production batch, then the product will be shipped in line with the dates shown.

Yes, you can cancel or modify your pre-order at any time before it ships. Please contact our customer service team for assistance.

The estimated delivery time for pre-orders is displayed in the product details, if there is any significant change to your delivery date - then we will contact you to let you know.

A pre-order is a purchase made for a product before it's officially released or in stock. It allows you to secure your item in advance. It helps us minimise waste, streamline production and create a better quality product.

We use a combination of petroleum jelly and paraffin waxes that are bi-products of fuel production. By using these materials, we're helping to reduce waste while creating a durable, water-resistant finish.

While the wax coating does reduce breathability compared to untreated cotton, it still allows more air flow than many synthetic waterproof materials. The fabric maintains a good balance between weather protection and comfort.

Yes! Reproofing your garment is a simple process that can be done at home with our reproofing wax. This ability to maintain and restore the water-resistant properties makes waxed cotton a particularly sustainable choice.

Initially, some minimal wax transfer might occur, but this decreases with wear. We recommend storing waxed items separately from other garments, especially in warmer conditions.

Yes! Unlike synthetic waterproof materials that use PFCs (which persist in the environment), our waxes are fully biodegradable. The waxes we use are actually bi-products from fuel production, meaning we're utilizing materials that would otherwise go to waste. Additionally, the application process has a low environmental impact compared to conventional waterproofing methods.

The duration depends on use and exposure to elements, but the unique advantage of waxed cotton is that it can be reproofed whenever needed. With proper care and regular reproofing, your waxed cotton garment can maintain its performance for many years.

While not completely waterproof like modern synthetic materials, waxed cotton provides excellent water resistance. It will keep you dry in most conditions and can be reproofed regularly to maintain its performance.

Waxed cotton is a traditional performance fabric made by treating cotton with a protective wax coating. The wax creates a water-repellent barrier while maintaining the natural properties of cotton. Think of it as nature's way of waterproofing – similar to how water beads off duck feathers.
