FAQs

What age range are these trousers for?

These specific trousers are for children aged 9-10 years. Fort offers a wide range of sizes for ages 1-14 years.

Are these trousers suitable for very heavy rain?

Yes, they are waterproof to 8,000mm, which is suitable for moderate to heavy rainfall and offers good protection against storms.

Can I wear these over jeans?

Yes, they are designed to be worn over regular clothing. The loose fit and elasticated waist allow for comfortable layering.

What material are the trousers made from?

They are made from a durable, 190gsm 100% polyester fabric with a PU (Polyurethane) coating for waterproofing.

How do I clean the Splashflex Trousers?

You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, ironing, and dry cleaning.

Do these trousers come in other colours?

While this specific product is blue, the Splashflex Trousers are also available in green. Fort offers a variety of colour options across their clothing range.

What is the benefit of the studded ankle adjustments?

The studded ankle adjustments allow you to secure the trouser leg around boots or shoes, preventing water and wind from entering from the bottom and keeping trousers from dragging.

Troubleshooting

Trousers do not seem waterproof

Ensure all seams are intact and check for any tears. Re-evaluate the waterproof rating (8,000mm) and understand it is suitable for moderate to heavy rain, but prolonged submersion may test its limits. Ensure the PU coating is not damaged.

Elasticated waist is too loose or too tight

These trousers feature a standard elasticated waist for ease of use. If the fit is not ideal, consider layering or seeking a different size. The ankle studs offer some adjustment for fit around footwear.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes happen with waterproof fabrics. Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding not using harsh detergents or high heat. Tumble drying on a low setting can sometimes help restore flexibility. Avoid ironing as high heat can damage the PU coating.
