FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they handle light rain and damp conditions well, but they are not fully waterproof and will saturate in heavy, sustained rain.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to preserve the fabric properties.
What age group are these for?
This specific item is designed for children, with sizes typically available ranging from 5-6 up to 11-12 years.
Are they suitable for winter?
They provide good wind protection, but for freezing temperatures, it is recommended to layer them over thermal leggings.
Do they provide enough stretch for climbing?
Yes, the softshell fabric is engineered to be flexible and durable, making it ideal for active play and climbing.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems to be wearing off
Wash the garment and apply a high-quality DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic outdoor clothing.
Waistband feels too loose
The part-elasticated design is intended for comfort, but if movement is excessive, consider pairing with a durable web belt to keep the trousers secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers require no setup and are ready to wear immediately. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool setting. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners that may degrade the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on high heat may shrink the polyester or damage the windproof membrane.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent performance begins to fade over time, consider using a specialized garment reproofing spray to restore the protective barrier.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup.
