The Craghoppers Ascent II Waterproof Over Trousers are designed for hikers, climbers, and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection against harsh weather without sacrificing mobility. Featuring high-spec Aqua Dry technology, these trousers provide exceptional waterproof and breathable performance for extended time in the field. While they offer superior technical shielding, users should note that they are strictly designed as an over-layer rather than primary legwear, meaning they are best utilized when deployed quickly over existing base or mid-layers during unexpected rain.

No, these are shell over-trousers designed for waterproof protection and breathability, not thermal insulation.
While technically possible, they are engineered as an over-layer. They are best worn over hiking trousers or leggings.
The ankle zips are designed to be long enough to allow for easy pulling on over standard hiking boots.
Yes, they feature a 20000mm rating, which classifies them as fully waterproof and suitable for heavy rain.
Machine wash with a technical cleaner on a gentle cycle, then air dry. Do not use fabric softener.
The DWR coating may need refreshing. Tumble dry on a low setting or iron on cool to reactivate the surface repellent.
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers underneath and vent the trousers using the ankle zips if the intensity of your hike decreases.
To ensure the longevity of your Ascent II Over Trousers, keep the following guidelines in mind:
Setup: These trousers are meant to be worn over your regular trousers. When adjusting the waistband, ensure the drawstring is snug but comfortable to allow for full range of motion.
Compatibility: They are designed to fit comfortably over standard hiking base layers or lightweight trousers. Due to their relaxed fit, you do not need to size up unless you wear extremely bulky thermal layers.
Care: Clean by wiping down with a damp cloth after use. When machine washing, use a dedicated technical fabric cleaner and avoid harsh detergents or softeners which can compromise the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the waterproof membrane.
