FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?
These trousers are designed for waterproofing and windproofing. While they offer protection from wind chill, they are not insulated for extreme cold. Layering with thermal base layers is recommended for cold conditions.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for waist measurements. As these are unisex, measure your waist and compare it to the chart. The elastic waistband offers some flexibility.
Can these trousers be machine washed?
It is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth or use mild soap and water for best results and to maintain the waterproof integrity. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
What does 'class 3/1' mean in EN 343 certification?
In EN 343:2003+A1:2007, class 3 indicates the highest level of water resistance, and class 1 indicates the lowest level of water vapor resistance. This means they are highly waterproof but may be less breathable than higher-rated garments for breathability.
Are the seams truly waterproof?
Yes, the trousers feature taped seams, which means they are sealed to prevent water from penetrating through the stitch holes, ensuring full waterproofing.
What is the material composition?
The trousers are made from a bonded fabric (345g/m²) with an outer PU/PVC coating and an inner 100% polyester lining.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside.
Ensure the trousers are properly ventilated if possible or that the inner lining is not saturated. Check for any damage to the outer coating or seams. Allow adequate drying time after use.
Zipper on leg opening is stiff.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stuck, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Elastic waistband is too loose.
The elastic waistband is designed for comfort and may not provide a high-tension fit. For a tighter fit, consider wearing a belt over the waistband or adjusting the trousers' fit at the leg openings.
