FAQs
Are these overtrousers insulated?
No, the Berghaus Stormcloud Waterproof Overtrousers are not insulated. They are designed to be worn as a waterproof outer layer over your existing clothing.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
Refer to the Berghaus sizing chart available on the product page or retailer website. Measure your waist and leg inseam and compare them to the chart. It's often recommended to consider wearing your usual outdoor trousers underneath when measuring for an accurate fit.
Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?
Yes, these overtrousers are suitable for a variety of outdoor activities such as cycling, camping, running, or simply for everyday use in wet weather.
How do I clean mud or dirt off them?
For light dirt, you can usually wipe them with a damp cloth. For more significant dirt, follow the machine washing instructions in the care section. Ensure all zippers and fasteners are closed before washing.
What is Hydroshell technology?
Hydroshell is Berghaus's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology, engineered to provide reliable protection from the elements while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable.
Do these overtrousers have pockets?
These specific overtrousers typically do not have integrated pockets to maintain their packability and reduce potential points of water ingress. Access to lower pockets is usually achieved through side zips or openings.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Re-proof the overtrousers following care instructions.
Zippers or snaps are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zippers and snaps with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are completely dry before use. Avoid forcing them.
Overtrousers feel clammy inside
This can be due to internal condensation or the fabric's breathability being overwhelmed by high exertion. Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers and allow for ventilation if possible.
