Troubleshooting
Trousers leaking.
Check if seams are properly taped and if the fabric itself has any punctures. Ensure zippers are fully closed. Re-waterproof if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.
Reduced breathability.
The fabric may be clogged with dirt or residue. Wash according to care instructions using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush to remove debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.
Trousers feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size, referring to the sizing chart. Consider wearing thinner layers underneath if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are wearable garments and require no complex setup. Simply put them on over your existing clothing. Ensure the boot zips are fully closed after adjustment.
Compatibility: Designed primarily as outerwear for adult males. They are compatible with most types of work boots and hiking footwear due to the ankle zips. A matching jacket is available for a complete weather-proof ensemble.
Care: Machine washable at a moderate temperature (e.g., 30-40°C). Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof and breathable membranes. Tumble dry on a low heat or air dry. Do not iron. Ensure the trousers are clean and dry before storing to maintain fabric integrity.
