FAQs

What is the waterproof rating?

The trousers are waterproof to 8,000mm, offering a good level of protection against rain.

Are these trousers insulated?

No, these trousers are designed as a waterproof shell layer and do not have built-in insulation. They are intended to be worn over other clothing.

How do I choose the correct size?

It is recommended to consult the specific size guide provided by Fort for accurate measurements. Pay attention to waist and leg length.

Can these be worn with boots?

Yes, the studded ankle adjustment allows them to be secured over or around boots.

What is the material made of?

The trousers are made from For-Tex fabric, which is 190gsm PU coated polyester.

How should I clean the trousers?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and tumble drying. Hang to dry.

Can these be used for very cold weather?

While they are windproof, they do not offer significant insulation. For cold weather, layering appropriate thermal clothing underneath is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress through seams

Ensure all elasticated adjustments at the waist and ankles are snug. For significant issues, check the seam taping if applicable, though this is uncommon with new products.

Trousers feel stiff after washing

This can sometimes happen with waterproof fabrics. Ensure you have not used fabric softener. Re-hang to air dry completely. If stiffness persists, a gentle tumble dry on a low heat setting might help, but follow care label instructions.

Trousers are no longer waterproof

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear, following the product's instructions.
