FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for extreme weather conditions?

These trousers are designed for extreme water resistance, meaning they are excellent for rain and damp conditions. However, for prolonged immersion or extreme downpours, additional protection or specialized gear might be needed.

How do I choose the right size?

The trousers have a generous fit for wearer comfort and to allow for layering. Refer to the size chart for specific waist measurements. The elasticated waist and adjustable hems offer some flexibility.

Can I wear these over other trousers?

Yes, they are designed with a generous fit, making them suitable for wearing over regular work trousers or base layers.

What does 'PFAS free Texpel™ Splash Eco' mean?

This indicates that the water-repellent finish applied to the fabric does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are more environmentally friendly. Texpel™ Splash Eco is a brand name for this specific eco-conscious treatment.

What is the waterproof rating?

The trousers have a waterproof rating of WP 5,000mm, which is compliant with EN 343 Class 3:1 standards.

How often should I reapply the water-repellent finish?

The frequency depends on usage and care. For regular use in damp conditions, reapplication might be beneficial every few months or when water no longer beads effectively on the surface.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside during use.

Ensure the waistband and hems are properly sealed. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating may need reapplication.

Water is penetrating through the seams.

This indicates a potential failure in the seam welding. Inspect seams for damage. For minor issues, a seam sealer might offer a temporary fix, but significant breaches may require replacement.

Elastic waistband has lost its stretch.

Washing and drying according to care instructions may help restore some elasticity. If the elastic is significantly degraded, repair or replacement of the elastic may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear.
  • Excellent value for money.
  • Effectively repels water with the Texpel™ Splash Eco finish.
  • Secure fit with elasticated waist and adjustable hems.
  • Durable polyester construction with PU coating.

Cons

  • Water resistance may not be sufficient for prolonged immersion or extreme conditions without re-treatment.
  • Basic insulation properties, intended for protection rather than warmth.
  • Generous fit might be too loose for some body types without additional layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no assembly. Simply put them on. Ensure the stud-adjustable hems are fastened securely around your boots to maintain a watertight seal.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male wearers, these trousers offer a generous fit to accommodate various body types and can be worn over regular work trousers. The adjustable hem is designed to fit over most standard work boots.

Care: To maintain the effectiveness of the waterproof coating and fabric integrity:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F).
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or drip dry.
  4. Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting. Do not iron the printed areas.
  5. Reproofing: For extended water repellency, consider occasional reproofing with a suitable spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof outerwear.
