This refers to the hydrostatic head rating, which measures how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before water penetrates. A 30,000mm rating means the fabric can resist a 30-meter column of water, indicating extremely high waterproof performance suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Yes, their lightweight and breathable design makes them suitable for year-round use as an outer shell. In colder conditions, you would layer them over appropriate thermal base layers. In warmer, wet conditions, they provide protection without excessive bulk.
Yes, you can machine wash them. It's crucial to use a technical outdoor gear wash (like Nikwax or Grangers) or a small amount of liquid detergent, and wash on a cold cycle (30°C). Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powders, as these can impair the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
H20Shield DWR (Durable Water Repellent) is a coating applied to the outer fabric that makes water bead up and roll off the surface. This prevents the fabric from becoming saturated and helps maintain breathability. It wears off over time and can be reapplied with specialized DWR treatments.
No, these trousers feature a breathable mesh lining, not a fleece lining. They are designed as a lightweight, protective outer layer. For warmth, you would need to wear insulating layers underneath.
These trousers are a 'Regular fit'. It's recommended to consult the Craghoppers size guide to ensure an accurate fit. Consider that you might want to wear a base layer underneath, so allow for comfortable movement.
This indicates the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is no longer effective. Wash the trousers according to care instructions, then apply a new DWR treatment suitable for technical waterproof garments. Sometimes, a gentle tumble dry on low heat after washing can reactivate the existing DWR.
Check your layering. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture effectively, and avoid cotton next to the skin in active situations. If the exterior is very dirty, breathability can be reduced; try washing the trousers as per care instructions.
The AquaDry fabric is designed for durability and protection. While it offers stretch, some stiffness is inherent to technical waterproof materials. Ensure the size is correct; a size too small could cause excessive tension and noise. Over time, with wear, the fabric may soften slightly.
These trousers require no special setup; simply pull them on as you would any other pair of trousers. They are designed to be worn over a base layer or directly against the skin, depending on weather conditions and personal preference.Compatibility:The Craghoppers Natales Trousers are compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities, including:- Hiking and trekking- Backpacking and camping- Trail walking and dog walking- General outdoor use in wet or windy conditionsThey pair well with waterproof jackets and appropriate outdoor footwear to create a complete weather-protective system.Care Instructions:To ensure the longevity and performance of your waterproof trousers, follow these care guidelines:1.

Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. If using a tumble dryer, the low heat can help reactivate the DWR finish.3. Ironing: Do not iron.4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
