Full details
These waterproof over trousers are designed for active kids who need reliable protection from the elements. The key benefit is keeping children dry and comfortable during wet weather activities.

The Pakka II trousers are lightweight, breathable, and waterproof, featuring taped seams and an elasticated waist for a comfortable fit, and they pack away into a small bag for convenience.

Troubleshooting
Trousers do not feel waterproof
Ensure all seams are intact. If the fabric feels less water-repellent, it may require re-proofing with a suitable spray. Check that the garment is zipped/fastened correctly.
Child feels clammy or too warm
This could be due to high activity levels or insufficient breathability. Ensure the trousers are not too tight, allowing for air circulation. For very high exertion, consider lighter weight alternatives if available.
Elasticated waist feels too loose or too tight
These trousers feature an elasticated waist for a comfortable fit. If the fit is significantly off, consider if a different size might be more appropriate for a better layover fit.
Popper fastenings are difficult to use
For very young children, adult assistance may be needed. Ensure poppers are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten. If a popper is damaged, contact customer support.
