Craghoppers Natales Waterproof Lightweight Cargo Trouser - Black - 18

The Craghoppers Natales Trousers are waterproof and windproof, offering protection against the elements. For extreme cold weather, we recommend pairing them with a suitable thermal base layer to provide adequate insulation, as they are primarily designed for lightweight weather protection rather than extreme warmth.

Yes, their agile, waterproof, and durable design makes them suitable for a variety of outdoor activities beyond walking and hiking, such as camping, wildlife watching, gardening in wet conditions, or any casual outdoor pursuit where weather protection is desired.

The Craghoppers Natales Waterproof Lightweight Cargo Trousers are made from Polyester, featuring a stretch AquaDry Membrane construction with a stretch mesh lining and H2OShield splashproof finish.

The drawcord hem adjusters are located at the bottom of each trouser leg. You can pull the drawcord to cinch the hem tighter around your ankles or footwear, securing the fit and helping to keep out water, mud, or debris. Release the cord to loosen the hem.

The trousers themselves are waterproof due to the AquaDry Membrane and taped seams. While the pockets offer a good level of protection, for electronic devices or highly sensitive items in heavy rain, it's always advisable to use additional dry bags or waterproof pouches inside the pockets for maximum security.

This specific guide is for the Craghoppers Natales Waterproof Lightweight Cargo Trouser in Black, UK Size 18. Other sizes in Black, such as UK Sizes 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20, are available within the range. Please check product listings for all available variants.

This indicates that the H2OShield DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off. Re-activate the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat setting if recommended on the care label, or apply a specialist DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment for technical waterproof garments.

While breathable, no waterproof fabric can eliminate all moisture in high-exertion or extremely humid conditions. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath. If possible, loosen the drawcord hem adjusters for increased ventilation. Consider wearing a wicking base layer to manage sweat effectively.

Inspect the seam for any visible damage or tears. The trousers feature fully taped seams, which should prevent leakage. If damage is present, professional repair may be required. For minor issues, a seam sealant product designed for waterproof gear can be applied.

Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. For sticking zippers, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant. If cargo pocket closures (e.g., Velcro or snaps) are losing effectiveness, clean them to remove any accumulated dirt or lint.
