Product Information

Full details

These Peter Storm Waterproof Packable Pants are designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from sudden rain during outdoor activities like trekking, hiking, and backpacking. Their key benefit is providing lightweight, breathable, and waterproof coverage that easily packs away. A potential caveat is the regular leg length, which may not suit all users. Key features include durable nylon construction with a PU coating, an elasticated waistband with hem adjustment for a secure fit, and convenient pocket openings for accessing your base layer pockets.

FAQs

Are these pants fully waterproof or water-resistant?

These pants feature a waterproof PU coating, designed to protect you from heavy rain.

Can I wear these as standalone pants?

While they offer waterproof protection, they are designed as overtrousers to be worn over other pants. They may not provide sufficient insulation or comfort for direct wear in many conditions.

How do I access my pockets when wearing these?

The pants have two pocket openings that allow you to reach through to the pockets of the trousers you are wearing underneath.

What is the best way to pack these pants for a trip?

They come with a mesh stuff sack, allowing them to be packed down compactly for easy storage in a backpack or bag.

What is the leg length for all sizes?

All sizes have a regular leg length of 79cm.

What activities are these pants recommended for?

They are recommended for trekking, hiking, backpacking, and travelling.

How should I clean these waterproof pants?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the fabric surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the trousers and reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Legs feel restrictive during movement

Ensure the size is appropriate and try adjusting the hem to prevent fabric bunching. Consider if a roomier fit is needed for strenuous activity.

Internal condensation despite dry exterior

While breathable, heavy exertion can cause some condensation. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers and vent the trousers if possible (e.g., by slightly unzipping lower leg openings if applicable).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent waterproof protection.
  • Lightweight and highly packable for easy transport.
  • Offers good breathability to prevent overheating.
  • Allows access to pockets of trousers worn underneath.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.

Cons

  • Regular leg length may not be suitable for all heights.
  • Limited pocket functionality (only openings, no dedicated pockets).
  • Primarily designed for overtrouser use, not as standalone pants.
  • May require a base layer for comfort in cooler temperatures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These overtrousers require no complex setup. Simply pull them on over your existing trousers. Adjust the elasticated waistband and hem for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed to be worn over other trousers, they are compatible with most hiking, trekking, or casual pants. Ensure you select a size that allows for comfortable layering.

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof coating.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.
  3. Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially if you notice water soaking into the fabric, reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment following the product's instructions to maintain performance.
