FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

These trousers offer excellent protection against wind and rain, making them ideal for wet and cool conditions. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended.

What is the 'For-Tex' fabric?

For-Tex is the brand's proprietary fabric technology used to enhance the weather resistance of the garments, ensuring they are waterproof and windproof.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer, paying attention to the UK size and age range (e.g., 9-10 Years UK). These trousers are designed for children.

Can these trousers be worn for sports?

They are designed for general outdoor play and protection from the elements. While they offer freedom of movement, they may not be specifically designed for high-impact sports or extreme athletic performance.

What is the waterproof rating of 8,000mm?

A rating of 8,000mm means the fabric can withstand 8,000 millimeters of water pressure before leaking. This is considered good for general outdoor use and moderate to heavy rain.

How durable are these trousers?

They are constructed from 190gsm PU-coated polyester, which is a durable material designed to be tear-resistant for active children's wear.

Troubleshooting

Trousers leak after some use

Check for wear and tear on the fabric or seams. Ensure all closures are fastened correctly. The waterproof coating may degrade over extended periods; consider replacement if significant wear is present.

Elasticated waist feels too loose or too tight

While the waist is elasticated, specific fit depends on the chosen size. Ensure the correct size has been selected. If the elastic stretches out over time, it may be difficult to tighten without alteration.

Ankle closures are difficult to fasten

Ensure the studs are aligned properly before pressing them together. If they are stiff, try pressing firmly or have a second person assist. Clean any dirt from the stud areas.
