FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
The Fort 920 Flex Trouser provides excellent windproofing and waterproofing, which helps retain body heat. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base and mid-layers is recommended.
What is the waterproof rating (10,000mm)?
A 10,000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water without leaking. This is considered good to very good waterproofing for outdoor apparel.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, paying close attention to waist, inside leg, and hip measurements. These trousers are designed to be worn over other clothing, so consider this when selecting your size.
Can these trousers be worn for general hiking?
Yes, they are ideal for general hiking, especially in wet or windy conditions, offering protection and durability.
What is the material composition?
The trousers are made from 330gsm PU coated polyester.
Are there any specific washing instructions?
It is recommended to wash on a cool cycle with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Always check the care label for precise instructions.
Can I wear these for industrial work?
Yes, they are specifically designed for work environments such as harbours, roadworks, and farming due to their durable and weatherproof nature.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through seams.
Ensure the welded seams are intact. If damage is suspected, consider a seam sealer specifically designed for waterproof garments. Check care instructions to ensure washing has not compromised the seals.
Trousers feel clammy or less breathable.
This can occur in very humid conditions or if the garment's breathability features are overwhelmed. Ensure any vents are open if applicable, and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Clean the garment regularly as dirt can impede performance.
Poppered hem adjustments are difficult to use.
Ensure the poppers are clear of dirt or debris. If they feel stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied carefully. Ensure the fabric around the poppers is not bunched up when fastening.
