FAQs

Are these overtrousers meant to be worn on their own?

No, these overtrousers are designed to be worn *over* your regular trousers for added waterproof protection.

How do I choose the right size?

It is recommended to choose a size that will comfortably fit over your usual trousers or base layer. Check the product's specific size guide for measurements.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash them at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.

How should I dry the overtrousers?

You can either tumble dry them on a low heat setting or hang them to dry. Do not dry clean.

What does 'IsoDry' fabric mean?

IsoDry is Mountain Warehouse's technology that ensures your garment is waterproof and breathable, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Are there vents for breathability?

While designed for waterproofing, the primary breathability comes from the IsoDry fabric itself. Specific ventilation zips are not a standard feature on this model.

Can I use these for hiking in heavy rain?

These overtrousers are best suited for everyday wear and moderate rain. For prolonged or extreme downpours during strenuous activities, you might consider more specialized waterproof gear.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the fabric.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the trousers and apply a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical fabrics.

Trousers feel less waterproof after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can impede the fabric's water-repellent properties. Ensure you are using a suitable detergent and follow the care instructions.

Ankle closures are not secure.

Ensure the Hook & Loop fasteners are clean and free from lint or debris. Press firmly to secure them.
