Product Information
Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Pants are designed for adult women who enjoy outdoor activities like trekking, hiking, backpacking, and travelling. Their key benefit is providing reliable waterproof and breathable protection against sudden rain showers, ensuring comfort and dryness. A potential consideration is their packable nature, which means they are lightweight and may offer less insulation than heavier-duty options. These trousers feature durable nylon construction with a waterproof PU coating, an adjustable waistband and hem, and convenient pocket openings for accessing your trouser pockets. They also include a mesh stuff sack for easy portability.

FAQs
Are these trousers insulated?
No, these are lightweight overtrousers designed for waterproof protection. They do not have built-in insulation but can be worn over insulating layers for warmth.
How do I know what size to order?
These are designed to be worn over other trousers. Consult a sizing guide if available, and consider ordering a size up from your regular trousers to ensure a comfortable fit without restricting movement.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
Yes, they can be machine washed at 40°C using a technical wash or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.
How do the pocket openings work?
The pocket openings are slits in the side seams of the overtrousers. They allow you to reach through to the pockets of the trousers you are wearing underneath.
What is the main material?
The main fabric is 100% Nylon 210T, which is durable and features a waterproof PU coating.
Are they suitable for very heavy rain?
They are designed with a waterproof PU coating to protect you from heavy rain. For extremely prolonged or severe downpours, consider complementing them with other waterproof gear if necessary.
How do I store them when not in use?
They come with a mesh stuff sack, which is ideal for compact storage in a backpack or gear bag.
Troubleshooting
Pants feel damp inside despite no rain.
This may be due to condensation. Ensure the waistband and hem are not sealed too tightly, allowing for some ventilation. If the fabric's breathability seems reduced, consider washing with a technical cleaner.
Water appears to be soaking through the fabric.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Try washing the trousers with a technical cleaner and then tumble drying on a low heat. If the issue persists, consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment.
Waistband is not secure.
Check that the elastic is not twisted and that the drawstring (if applicable) is fully tightened. Ensure you are wearing the correct size; overtrousers should fit comfortably over your base layer or hiking trousers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and highly packable for easy transport.
- Provides effective waterproof protection against rain.
- Breathable coating helps manage internal moisture.
- Adjustable waistband and hem for a personalized fit.
- Convenient access to existing trouser pockets.
Cons
- May offer limited insulation in very cold conditions due to lightweight material.
- As overtrousers, they are designed to be worn over other clothing, so sizing needs to accommodate this.
- Pocket openings do not have closures, meaning items in trouser pockets are not secured by the overtrousers themselves.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are overtrousers designed to be worn over your regular trousers. Simply pull them on as needed. Ensure the waistband and hem adjustments are made for a comfortable and secure fit before heading out.
Compatibility: The Peter Storm Packable Pants are designed for general outdoor use and are compatible with most types of walking trousers, hiking pants, or base layers. The pocket openings are designed to align with standard trouser pockets.
Care: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties:
- Cleaning: Machine wash at 40°C with a technical wash or mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid ironing.
- Re-proofing: For best performance, re-waterproof the trousers periodically using a suitable spray or wash-in proofer, following the product instructions. Store in the provided mesh sack in a cool, dry place.
