FAQs
Are the Berghaus Paclite Overtrousers suitable for all seasons?
Yes, they are designed for use in all seasons, offering waterproof protection and breathability. However, they are best suited for warmer conditions where breathability is a priority. For very cold conditions, additional layering may be required.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Berghaus size guide. Consider the size of your base layers and choose accordingly. The elasticated waist provides some flexibility.
Can I iron these trousers?
No, do not iron the Berghaus Paclite Overtrousers, as this may damage the GORE-TEX fabric. The heat can affect its waterproof properties.
How do I store the overtrousers when not in use?
Store them in the included mesh sac or a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
What kind of detergent should I use?
Use a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof fabrics. Avoid detergents with fabric softeners or bleach, as these can affect the performance of the GORE-TEX fabric.
Are these overtrousers suitable for skiing?
They can be used for skiing, but may not have all the features of ski-specific trousers, such as reinforced cuffs or snow gaiters. Consider the activity's intensity and weather conditions.
How do I clean mud or dirt off the overtrousers?
Allow the mud to dry, then brush it off. For stubborn stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
