These Fort 983 Splashflex trousers are designed for children who love outdoor play, offering robust protection against wet and windy weather. Their primary benefit is keeping kids dry and comfortable during rainy conditions, allowing for uninterrupted adventures. A potential caveat is their specific design intended to be worn with the Splashflex Jacket, which might limit standalone use for some. Key features include waterproof and windproof For-Tex fabric, tear resistance, and adjustable fittings for a secure and customizable wear.

These trousers are designed primarily for waterproofing and windproofing. While they offer a barrier against the elements, they are not insulated. For very cold weather, layering thermal base layers underneath is recommended.
The trousers are waterproof to 8,000mm, which provides a high level of protection against rain.
Yes, they can be worn without the Splashflex Jacket, but they are designed to work best as a system with the jacket for complete wet-weather coverage.
The ankle hems have adjustable studs that allow you to customize the fit, ensuring they stay in place and prevent water from entering.
They are made from 190gsm PU coated polyester with For-Tex fabric.
Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.
They are ideal for wet and windy conditions in spring, autumn, and cooler summer days. For very warm weather, they might be too warm due to their waterproof coating.
Ensure the trousers were properly washed and dried according to care instructions. Check that the waterproof coating is intact and consider if the trousers were exposed to extreme saturation beyond their rating. Ensure they are worn with appropriate base layers if necessary.
Inspect the seams for any damage. While the fabric is highly waterproof, seams can sometimes be a point of weakness if not properly sealed or if damaged. For minor issues, seam sealant designed for outdoor gear may offer a temporary fix, but significant damage may require replacement.
The elastic waistband is designed for comfort and may stretch slightly over time. Ensure the size purchased is appropriate. If the elasticity significantly degrades, it may be difficult to repair and could indicate the need for replacement.
Setup: These trousers are designed for immediate wear. Simply pull them on. The elasticated waist and hems offer a comfortable fit, and the studded ankle adjustments can be secured to prevent the legs from dragging or riding up.
Compatibility: These trousers are specifically designed to be worn with the Fort Splashflex Jacket for optimal wet weather protection. While they can be worn with other waterproof jackets, the combined system offers the most comprehensive barrier.
Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and integrity of the fabric:
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof coating over time.
