Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Downpour Waterproof Pants are designed for adult women seeking reliable protection against wet weather during outdoor activities. Their key benefit is keeping you dry and comfortable thanks to waterproof and breathable fabric with taped seams. A potential caveat is that while functional, they may not offer the same level of insulation as dedicated winter gear. Key features include taped seams for full waterproofing, a breathable and ripstop nylon construction, a comfortable elastic waistband, and convenient ankle zips.

FAQs

Are these pants suitable for heavy rain?

The Downpour Waterproof Pants are rated to 5,000mm, making them suitable for moderate rain. For extremely heavy or prolonged downpours, you might consider gear with a higher waterproof rating.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

These pants are designed for waterproofing and breathability. For warmth in cold weather, you will need to wear insulating layers underneath. They do not provide significant insulation on their own.

How do I clean the waterproof coating?

To maintain the waterproof coating, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. For best results, consider using a technical wash and re-waterproofing spray designed for outdoor gear.

What does 'Ripstop' fabric mean?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. If a tear does occur, the ripstop weave helps to contain it, preventing it from spreading.

How do the ankle zips work?

The ankle zips are designed to make it easier to put on and take off the trousers, especially when wearing footwear like hiking boots. They allow you to open the leg cuff wider for a more comfortable fit over your shoes or boots.

What is the breathability rating?

The pants have a breathability rating of 5,000g. This means that 5,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, helping to keep you dry from the inside.

Are these pants lined?

Yes, the Downpour Waterproof Pants feature a mesh lining. This lining improves breathability by allowing air to circulate between your body and the waterproof outer fabric.

Troubleshooting

Pants feel damp inside

Ensure the garment is properly zipped at the ankles and that the waistband is snug. If experiencing heavy perspiration, consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath. Check if the breathability rating is sufficient for the intensity of your activity.

Water seeping through seams

Verify that all seams are properly sealed with taped seams. If leaks persist, the tape may be damaged, and re-waterproofing might be necessary. Contact customer support if damage is evident.

Ankle zips are difficult to operate

Ensure the zips are clean and free of dirt or debris. Gently work the zip up and down. If resistance continues, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip.

Material feels stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade waterproof coatings. Tumble dry on low heat as per care instructions, which can sometimes help restore fabric feel.
