FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for all types of outdoor activities?
These overtrousers are specifically designed for hill walking but can also be used for other outdoor activities where waterproof protection is needed. They may not be the best choice for high-intensity activities where maximum breathability is required.
How do I store the overtrousers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing them for an extended period.
Can I use bleach on these trousers?
No, do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
What is the warranty on these trousers?
Warranty information can be found on the Berghaus website or the retailer where you purchased the trousers.
How do I know what size to buy?
Refer to the Berghaus size guide, which provides measurements to ensure you select the correct fit. Consider wearing these over your regular trousers when measuring.
What is GORE-TEX 2L Performance Shell?
GORE-TEX 2L Performance Shell is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric that is designed to keep you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions. The '2L' refers to the two layers bonded together for enhanced durability.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the trousers.
Check the trousers for damage. If there are any rips or tears, repair them using a patch kit. If the DWR treatment has worn off, reapply it.
The trousers feel clammy or uncomfortable.
Ensure the trousers are breathable. Avoid wearing thick layers underneath. Adjust the two-way zips for ventilation to regulate your body temperature.
The zips are difficult to operate.
Clean the zips with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: The overtrousers are designed to be worn over existing trousers. Simply pull them on over your hiking pants.
- Compatibility: They are compatible with various hiking boots and other outdoor gear.
- Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash the overtrousers on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the waterproof performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting, or hang them to dry. If tumble drying, you can briefly iron them on a low setting to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment.
- Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the DWR treatment may wear off. You can reapply DWR using a spray-on product specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the product instructions for application.
