Product Information

Full details

These Fort 983 Splashflex trousers are designed for children, offering a complete waterproof and windproof solution for wet weather adventures. The key benefit is keeping kids dry and comfortable in challenging conditions, allowing them to play freely. A potential caveat is that they are sold as part of a set, with the matching jacket being a separate purchase. Key features include a 8,000mm waterproof rating, windproof and tear-resistant fabric, an elasticated waist and hems, and studded ankle adjustments.

FAQs

Are these trousers sold with a jacket?

No, the Fort 983 Splashflex Trousers are sold separately from the matching jacket. They are designed to be a complementary item.

What is the waterproof rating?

The trousers are waterproof to 8,000mm, which is considered a good level of protection against moderate to heavy rain.

Can children wear these over jeans?

Yes, these trousers are designed to be worn as an outer layer over regular clothing, including jeans, to provide weather protection.

How should I clean the trousers?

You can machine wash them at a low temperature (30°C or 40°C) with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and do not iron. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

What ages are these trousers suitable for?

These trousers are designed for children, with specific sizes available corresponding to UK children's sizes. The specific pair in this guide is size 7-8.

Are the hems adjustable?

Yes, the trousers feature studded ankle adjustments to allow for a more secure fit around footwear and to help keep water out.

What material are the trousers made from?

They are made from 190gsm PU coated polyester, featuring For-Tex fabric for weather resistance.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are no longer waterproof

Ensure the garment has been washed correctly without fabric softener. Re-waterproofing treatments can be applied if necessary, following product instructions.

Elasticated waist feels too loose or tight

The elasticated waist is designed for comfort. If a tighter fit is desired, consider layering or pairing with a belt if possible, though the design prioritizes ease of wear.

Studs on ankles are difficult to fasten

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the stud mechanism. If they feel stiff, try fastening and unfastening them a few times to loosen them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection for active children.
  • Durable and tear-resistant material suitable for rough play.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with elasticated features and ankle adjustments.
  • Keeps children dry and happy during wet weather outings.
  • Easy for kids to manage independently due to the pull-on design.

Cons

  • Matching jacket sold separately, not a complete suit out of the box.
  • Primarily designed for function; aesthetic may be secondary for some.
  • Polyester material might be less breathable than some technical fabrics for high-exertion activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trousers are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. There is no specific setup required.

Compatibility:

These trousers are designed to be worn over regular clothing. They are compatible with various types of footwear, with the studded ankle adjustment allowing for a secure fit around boots or wellington. For full weather protection, they are intended to be paired with the matching Fort 983 Splashflex Jacket.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the performance and longevity of the trousers:

  1. Washing: Machine washable at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the waterproof properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Do not iron.
  3. Cleaning: For minor dirt, wipe clean with a damp cloth.
