FAQs
Are these overtrouser fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof PU coating on the main nylon fabric designed to protect you from heavy rain.
How do I ensure the best fit?
It's recommended to check the size guide carefully and consider the thickness of the trousers you will wear underneath. The elasticated waistband and hem adjustment also allow for some customization.
Can I wear these for high-intensity activities?
While breathable, they are designed primarily for protection against rain during walking and backpacking. For very high-intensity activities, breathability might be a limiting factor compared to specialized waterproof-breathable gear.
How small do they pack down?
They are designed to be lightweight and packable. They come with a mesh stuff sack for convenient storage, making them ideal for carrying in a backpack.
How do I clean them?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical wash. Do not use fabric softener. Air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main material of the overtrouser?
The main fabric is 100% nylon 210T, which is durable and features a waterproof PU coating.
Do these overtrouser have their own pockets?
No, they have two pocket openings that allow you to access the pockets of the trousers worn underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
This can occur with prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Consider using a seam sealer on the overtrouser seams for added protection. Ensure the outer fabric is clean and any DWR coating is intact.
Reduced waterproof performance
The waterproof coating may degrade over time or with improper care. Clean the overtrouser according to care instructions and consider reapplying a suitable waterproofing spray or wash.
Elastic waistband losing elasticity
Avoid high heat when washing or drying, as this can damage elastic. If elasticity is significantly reduced, it may be difficult to repair, but ensure it is clean to maintain grip.
Fabric feels stiff or less flexible
This can happen if the overtrouser are stored damp or if harsh detergents were used. Wash gently with a technical wash and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat.
