Product Information

Full details

Designed for adult women, the Berghaus Stormcloud Waterproof Overtrousers offer complete waterproof protection and breathability, making them ideal for unexpected downpours during outdoor activities. While lightweight and packable for convenience, their primary caveat is their specific fit for women, which may not suit all body types. These overtrousers feature Hydroshell technology for reliable dryness, a breathable construction to keep you comfortable, and practical snap-release leg openings for easy on-and-off over boots.

FAQs

Are these overtrousers suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the Hydroshell technology provides complete waterproof protection and is designed for use in wet conditions.

Can I wear these over jeans?

Yes, they are designed to be worn over other trousers, including jeans, though they offer the best freedom of movement over slimmer-fit hiking trousers.

How do I know which size to get?

Refer to the size guide provided by Berghaus. It is recommended to check the waist and leg length measurements, considering you will be wearing them over another pair of trousers.

Are they insulated?

No, these are uninsulated overtrousers designed purely for waterproof and windproof protection. They allow you to layer insulating clothing underneath if needed.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry.

What is the main benefit of Hydroshell technology?

Hydroshell technology offers a balance of complete waterproof protection and breathability, ensuring you stay dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.

Can the leg opening be adjusted?

The leg openings feature snap-release closures for quick on/off, but they are not adjustable for width beyond the snap positions.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the fabric

This may indicate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof breathable fabrics. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment.

Leg snaps are difficult to open/close

Ensure there is no debris or dirt obstructing the snaps. If difficult with thick boots, try positioning the leg opening more carefully before engaging the snap.

Overtrousers feel clammy inside

Ensure you are wearing breathable base or mid-layers underneath. Check that the overtrousers are not overloaded with internal moisture from sweat. Wash according to care instructions to restore breathability.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softener. If stiffness persists, tumble dry on a low heat as per care instructions, which can help restore suppleness.
