FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for heavy rain?

These trousers have a waterproof rating of 15000mm and taped seams, making them suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme or prolonged downpours, additional waterproof gear might be necessary.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The trousers are designed to be worn over other clothing. Ensure there is enough room for comfort without being too baggy. Refer to the size guide if available, and consider the child's height and waist measurements. The elasticated waist offers some flexibility.

Can these trousers be worn in warmer weather?

Yes, the breathable and moisture-wicking fabric helps to manage moisture, making them wearable even in warmer, wet conditions. However, they are primarily designed for protection against the elements.

What is included with the trousers?

The product includes one pair of waterproof over trousers and one packaway bag for easy storage and transport.

How should I clean the trousers to maintain their waterproof properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron. Regular cleaning and occasional re-waterproofing will help maintain performance.

What does 'IsoDry' technology mean?

IsoDry is a technology that ensures the fabric is both waterproof and breathable. It allows moisture vapor to escape from the inside while preventing water from entering from the outside, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.

How do I reproof the trousers?

After cleaning and ensuring the trousers are dry, apply a suitable reproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. This helps to restore the water-repellent finish on the outer fabric.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside

Ensure the trousers are the correct size and not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Check that the fabric's breathability is not compromised by excessive residue from detergents. Wash with a mild detergent and ensure they are fully dry.

Water seems to be leaking through seams

Verify that all seams are properly taped. If taping appears damaged, consider a fabric repair solution or reproofing spray designed for outdoor gear.

Poppers are difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the fabric is not bunched up around the popper. If they remain stiff, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied carefully to the popper mechanism, avoiding the fabric.

  • Excellent waterproof protection for everyday wet weather.

  • Durable construction with taped seams.
  • Easy for children to put on and take off.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are over-trousers, designed to be worn over regular clothing. There is no specific setup required beyond ensuring the correct size is selected for a comfortable fit over existing garments. The elasticated waist and popper fastenings are designed for immediate use.

Compatibility:

These trousers are compatible with most types of children's clothing worn underneath, including jeans, leggings, and tracksuits. They are suitable for children aged 7-8 years.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener as it can impair the waterproof and breathable properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Reproofing: For optimal performance, consider a re-waterproofing treatment every few washes or when water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the chosen reproofing agent.
