FAQs
What does 'IsoDry' mean for these trousers?
IsoDry is Mountain Warehouse's technology that ensures the fabric is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps water out while allowing internal moisture vapor (like sweat) to escape, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Are these trousers suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with a waterproof rating of 15000mm and taped seams, these trousers are designed to provide excellent protection even in heavy rain conditions.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
These are over-trousers, meaning they are intended to be worn over other clothing. Ensure there is enough room to comfortably fit them over your child's regular trousers or shorts without restricting movement. Check the size guide for specific measurements.
Can these trousers be worn in warmer weather?
While they are waterproof, the breathable fabric helps manage moisture. However, they are primarily designed for protection against wet conditions and may feel warm in very hot weather.
How do I clean the packaway bag?
The packaway bag can usually be cleaned with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a gentle hand wash with mild soap and water is recommended, followed by air drying.
What is the main benefit of the taped seams?
Taped seams are crucial for waterproof garments. They are strips of waterproof tape applied to the inside of the sewn seams, preventing water from penetrating through the needle holes.
How often should I re-waterproof the trousers?
The need for re-waterproofing depends on usage and care. If you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is soaking into the fabric, it's a good time to consider re-applying a water-repellent finish.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside
Ensure the fabric is not overloaded with detergent during washing, as residue can affect breathability. Check that the IsoDry membrane is intact. If the issue persists, consider a gentle re-waterproofing treatment.
Poppers are difficult to fasten/unfasten
Check for any lint or debris around the popper areas. If they are stiff, a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied carefully to the male part of the popper.
Water is leaking through seams
The taped seams may be damaged. Inspect the seams carefully. If the tape is peeling, it may require professional repair or re-sealing with a specific seam sealer product.
Trousers seem too tight or restrictive
These are over-trousers designed to be worn over other clothing. Ensure you have selected the correct size, allowing enough room for base layers or regular trousers underneath. The elasticated waist offers some adjustability.
