4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the quality of your prAna Vaha Balance Pants.

Washing Instructions:

• Machine Wash: Wash in cold water with like colors.
• Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
• Bleach: Do not bleach.
• Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry to preserve fabric integrity.
• Ironing: Iron on low heat if necessary.

The hemp and TENCEL™ Lyocell blend is naturally durable, but following these instructions will help prevent shrinkage, fading, and pilling.

5. Troubleshooting

While the Vaha Balance Pants are designed for durability, here are some common issues and solutions:

Odor Retention:

Although the fabric is naturally odor-reducing, persistent odors may occur with heavy use. Ensure pants are washed promptly after wear, especially after intense activities. Consider using a sports-specific detergent if odors persist.

Shrinkage:

To minimize shrinkage, always wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. High heat can cause natural fibers to contract.

Pilling:

Pilling (small balls of fiber on the fabric surface) can occur with friction. To reduce pilling, wash garments inside out and avoid abrasive surfaces. A fabric shaver can be used to gently remove existing pills.
