FAQs

Are these trousers insulated for winter?

No, these are designed as a lightweight, packable waterproof shell. They provide wind protection but do not contain thermal insulation.

Can I put these in the dryer?

It is generally recommended to air dry these trousers. Excessive heat from a tumble dryer can damage the waterproof taped seams.

How do I choose the right size?

These are designed with a relaxed fit to be worn over your normal clothing. If you are between sizes, consider your usual size for standard overtrousers.

Do these have pockets?

No, the Origin 2 Overtrousers do not feature pockets to maintain their lightweight, packable profile.

Is the material stretchy?

The material is not elasticated in a stretch-fit sense, but the cut is intentionally loose to ensure you have a full range of motion.

Can I use these for heavy-duty mountain climbing?

While these offer great weather protection for hiking and commuting, they are lightweight and may not provide the abrasion resistance required for technical, high-altitude rock climbing.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking through the fabric

Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off; you may need to re-apply a waterproofing spray or wash the garment with a technical wash-in re-proofer.

The overtrousers feel damp on the inside

Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath. Additionally, check that you are not pushing the garment past its breathability limits during high-intensity exercise.

Velcro tabs no longer grip securely

Remove any lint, threads, or debris trapped in the hook-and-loop fasteners using a small brush or tweezers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to pack
  • High level of waterproof protection with taped seams
  • Breathable material prevents sweat buildup
  • Reflective elements for added safety
  • Simple, secure adjustment at the waist and ankles

Cons

  • Lack of integrated pockets
  • Designed specifically as a pull-over layer, not as standalone trousers
  • Material may feel thin compared to heavy-duty mountain gear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best performance, pull the trousers on over your base layer or regular trousers using the elasticated waist for a quick, snug fit. Tighten the Velcro tabs at the ankle to seal out mud and water splashes. Compatibility is high due to the relaxed fit, meaning they easily slide over most jeans or hiking trousers. To care for your overtrousers, hand wash or use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent to maintain the waterproof coating. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the breathable pores of the fabric. Always ensure the trousers are completely dry before folding them back into their storage sac to prevent mildew or odor buildup.
