Volcom Hike & Camp

Frequently Asked Questions

• How do Volcom Hike & Camp pants like the Stone Trail Master stand up to abrasion and heavy use?

  Volcom’s workwear pants use high-strength materials like Nylon 66 and reinforced construction (bar-tacking, metal buckle buttons) to resist tears and abrasion in trail, camp, and build environments. Those features, combined with hard-wearing face fabrics, make them a good choice for repetitive contact and rough surfaces while still offering room for movement.
• How does the Stone Trail Master Pant compare to other Volcom Hike & Camp pants?

  The Stone Trail Master is engineered with V-Science fabric for a balance of water resistance and breathability and is offered in the broad 28–40 size range, while other Hike & Camp pieces in Volcom’s workwear line may emphasize Nylon 66 for extreme tear resistance or incorporate 3-layer GORE-TEX for full waterproof protection. Choose the Stone Trail Master when you want durable, breathable performance; opt for GORE-TEX models if you prioritize fully waterproof protection in persistent wet conditions.
• Are Volcom Hike & Camp jackets waterproof and breathable enough for prolonged wet-weather use?

  Many Volcom Hike & Camp jackets use 3-layer GORE-TEX constructions (membrane + abrasion-resistant face + C-KNIT backer) plus a DWR finish, which delivers reliable waterproofing while maintaining breathability for active hiking and camp tasks. These jackets are designed to shed driving rain and let moisture escape during high-exertion activities, though layering and ventilation strategy still matter for very intense efforts.
• What kind of fit and mobility can I expect from Volcom workwear pants for hiking and scrambling?

  Volcom’s hike-and-camp styles emphasize superior stretch and high-recovery fabrics, so you should get a close, active fit that allows deep flexing, squatting, and scrambling without bagging out. For the best result, use the product-specific size chart (Stone Trail Master sizes commonly run 28–40) and consider your layering needs—size for comfortable hip/thigh movement rather than a skin-tight fit.
• How should I care for Nylon 66, V-Science and GORE-TEX fabrics to preserve durability and DWR performance?

  Follow the garment care label and use a technical cleaner formulated for performance fabrics; avoid fabric softeners and heavy detergents that can reduce DWR and breathability. If water no longer beads on the surface, restore DWR with a wash-in or spray-on treatment and reactivate per the care instructions (often a low tumble-dry or light iron), which will help maintain waterproofing and fabric longevity.
