Can I wear these over jeans?

How do I find the right size?

Please refer to the size guide provided. The waist measurements for adult sizes range from XS (28-30 in) to 3XL (46-48 in).

How should I clean and maintain the waterproofness?

Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Re-apply a water-repellent finish as needed.

Are these overtrousers suitable for both men and women?

Yes, they come in unisex sizing, meaning they are designed to be suitable for both men and women.

What does 'PFC & PFOA free' mean?

It means the overtrousers are made without using harmful chemicals like perfluorinated compounds and perfluorooctanoic acid, making them a more environmentally friendly choice.

Troubleshooting

Overtrousers leak water

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the fabric's water-repellent finish has not worn off. Re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment if necessary. Check that the fabric itself is not damaged.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy

Wash the overtrousers using a liquid detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Ensure they are clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Re-activate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat.

Elastic waistband feels too loose or too tight

The waistband is elasticated for comfort. For a more secure fit, use the adjustable Velcro tabs at the ankle to cinch the legs, which can help to keep the trousers in place.

Product does not pack down small enough

Ensure the overtrousers are completely dry before attempting to fold them. Fold them neatly and systematically, starting from the legs upwards, before tucking them into the integrated sac.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These overtrousers require no complex setup. Simply unfold them from their packable sac and put them on over your regular clothing. Adjust the elasticated waistband and Velcro leg tabs for a snug fit.

Compatibility:

The Origin 2 Overtrousers are designed as an outer layer and are compatible with most types of trousers or shorts worn underneath. They are available in unisex sizing to accommodate a wide range of individuals.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your overtrousers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle with a zip closed and pockets (if any) emptied.
  2. Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric conditioners or powders, as these can clog the pores and reduce breathability.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  5. Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, apply a PFC-free water-repellent spray after washing and drying, following the product's instructions. Re-apply as needed when water no longer beads on the surface.
