Product Information

Full details

These Craghoppers Natales Waterproof Lightweight Cargo Trousers are designed for female adult trail enthusiasts and active adventurers seeking reliable protection in wet and windy conditions. Their primary advantage is the combination of high-performance waterproofing and windproofing with a lightweight design that allows complete freedom of movement. However, as lightweight technical trousers, they are optimized for performance and may require additional layering for extreme cold environments or might not be ideal for purely casual wear.

FAQs

How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts as long as possible?

To maintain the waterproofing, wash your trousers with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments, avoid fabric softeners, and periodically reactivate or reapply the DWR finish. Always follow the care label instructions.

Are these trousers suitable for cold winter weather?

While windproof and waterproof, these are lightweight trousers. For cold winter conditions, we recommend wearing appropriate thermal base layers underneath to provide adequate insulation.

What does `H20Shield DWR` mean?

`H20Shield DWR` stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to the fabric's outer surface that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from absorbing moisture.

Can I use regular laundry detergent to wash these trousers?

No, it's best to avoid regular detergents. They can leave residues that clog the fabric's pores, reducing breathability, and can break down the DWR finish. Use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof outdoor gear.

What material are the Craghoppers Natales Trousers made from?

These trousers are made from 100% Polyester, a durable and quick-drying synthetic fabric ideal for outdoor performance.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the specific Craghoppers sizing chart, usually found on the product page or brand's website, to ensure you select the best fit for your measurements.

Are there any specific drying instructions?

After washing, you can either air dry your trousers completely or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Tumble drying on low heat can help reactivate the `H20Shield DWR` finish.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.

This indicates the `H20Shield DWR` (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs reactivating or reapplying. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting to reactivate. If that doesn't work, wash with a technical cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.

The trousers feel less breathable or clammy during activity.

Ensure the internal mesh-lining is clean and free of residue from detergents. Re-wash using a technical outerwear cleaner to restore breathability. Also, check your layering; wearing too many non-breathable layers underneath can trap moisture.

Movement feels restricted despite the design for freedom of movement.

Verify you have the correct size. Trousers that are too small can restrict movement. Also, consider the fit of any layers worn underneath; bulky underlayers can sometimes impede movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Simply put them on! No complex setup is required for these trousers. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility

These trousers are designed to be a core part of an outdoor layering system. They pair perfectly with waterproof jackets, hiking boots, and thermal base layers in colder conditions. Their black color makes them versatile for matching with various outdoor apparel.

Care

Proper care is crucial to maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your Craghoppers Natales trousers. Always refer to the garment's internal care label for the most precise instructions. Generally, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical outerwear cleaner (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash or Grangers Performance Wash). Avoid standard detergents, as they can compromise the DWR finish and fabric breathability.
  2. Avoid Softeners and Bleach: Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh stain removers, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR coating.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry completely. Tumble drying on low heat can often help reactivate the `H20Shield DWR` finish. If air drying, ensure they are fully dry before storage.
  4. DWR Reapplication: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up and soaks into the outer fabric, it's time to reapply a DWR treatment. Follow the instructions on a spray-on or wash-in DWR product for technical outerwear.
