Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These overtrousers require no setup. Simply adjust the waist if needed (if elasticated or drawstring features are present) and put them on.
Compatibility: Designed to be worn over regular trousers or hiking pants. The snap-release leg openings are intended to accommodate most standard walking and hiking boots, though extremely bulky insulated boots might present a tighter fit.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C, preferably on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, fabric softener, or bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct heat sources. For best results and to maintain water repellency, you can tumble dry on a low heat for a short period after washing, followed by air drying.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to maintain the fabric's performance. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.
