FAQs

What age group are these trousers intended for?

These specific trousers are sized for children aged 9-10 years. The Splashflex range includes sizes for younger children as well.

Are these trousers suitable for snow?

The trousers offer excellent waterproofing and windproofing, making them suitable for light snow. However, they are not heavily insulated and may require thermal base layers for warmth in very cold or snowy conditions.

How do I clean the trousers?

You can machine wash the trousers at 40°C. Avoid using bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.

What does the 8,000mm waterproof rating mean?

An 8,000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a column of water 8,000mm high before water penetrates. This provides a good level of protection against moderate to heavy rain.

Can these trousers be worn with boots?

Yes, the studded ankle adjustment allows you to secure the trousers over or around boots, helping to keep water and wind out.

What material are the trousers made from?

They are made from 190gsm PU coated polyester, utilizing Fort-Tex fabric for enhanced weather resistance.

Are these trousers unisex?

Yes, the design is unisex, suitable for both boys and girls.

Troubleshooting

Trousers appear to be leaking.

Ensure all seams and hems are intact. For significant leaks, consider if the waterproof coating has worn down over time. Follow care instructions to maintain the fabric's integrity.

Elasticated waist feels too tight or too loose.

The elasticated waist is designed for a snug fit. If it feels too tight, ensure the size is correct. These trousers do not have adjustable waistbands beyond the elastic. For a loose fit, consider if a smaller size is needed, though ensure there is room for layering.

Ankle studs are difficult to fasten.

Ensure the fabric is flat before attempting to fasten the studs. If the studs are damaged, contact customer support. These are designed for secure closure against footwear.
