  In this Reply we respond to the comment by Das Sarma and Pan [1] on Hess et
al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 207001, "Trivial Andreev Band Mimicking Topological
Bulk Gap Reopening in the Nonlocal Conductance of Long Rashba Nanowires" [2].
First, we note that Das Sarma and Pan reproduce the key results of Hess et al.,
substantiating that our findings are entirely valid. Next, we clarify the
incorrect statement by Das Sarma and Pan that the main result of Hess et al.
requires a "contrived periodic pristine system", pointing out the extensive
discussion of positional disorder in the Hess et al. We also demonstrate that
nonlocal conductance features are generically reduced by disorder. This applies
to both an Andreev band and to a genuine topological bulk gap reopening
signature (BRS). In fact, the suppression of nonlocal conductance of a genuine
BRS by disorder was discussed in, e.g., Pan, Sau, Das Sarma, PRB 103, 014513
(2021) [3]. We conclude that, contrary to the claims of Das Sarma and Pan, the
minimal model of Hess et al. is relevant to current realistic nanowire devices
where only a few overlapping ABSs would be required to mimic a BRS.
