Full details
These Peter Storm Women's Packable Waterproof Trousers are designed for adult females seeking reliable rain protection during outdoor activities like walking and backpacking. The key benefit is their lightweight, packable design combined with durable, waterproof construction, ensuring you stay dry without being weighed down. A potential caveat is that they are overtrousers, meaning they are designed to be worn over other clothing and may not offer insulation on their own. Key features include a waterproof PU coating, elasticated waistband, hem adjustment, and convenient pocket openings.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of these trousers?
These trousers are designed as overtrousers to provide a waterproof layer worn over your regular clothing to protect you from rain during outdoor activities.
Are these trousers insulated?
No, these are shell overtrousers and do not offer insulation. They are intended to be worn over other garments for warmth and protection.
How do I choose the right size?
Consider what you will be wearing underneath. If you plan to wear them over thick trousers, you may need to size up from your standard fit.
Can I wear these for high-intensity sports?
While they are breathable, they are primarily designed for walking and backpacking. For very high-intensity activities, you might prefer specialized waterproofs with higher breathability ratings.
How do I care for the waterproof coating?
Wash using a mild liquid detergent (no fabric softener) and consider re-waterproofing periodically to maintain the DWR finish. Refer to the care instructions for detailed guidance.
Do they come with a stuff sack?
Yes, the trousers include a mesh stuff sack for convenient and compact storage.
What material are they made from?
They are made from 100% nylon 210T main fabric with a waterproof PU coating.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight when worn over other pants.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. These are overtrousers, so consider ordering a size up from your usual fit if you plan to wear them over thick trousers.
Water seems to be penetrating the fabric.
Check if the waterproof coating is still effective. Clean the trousers according to care instructions. If performance has diminished, consider applying a suitable re-waterproofing treatment.
Difficulty fitting trousers into the stuff sack.
Ensure the trousers are completely dry and then roll them tightly from the hem upwards before placing them in the mesh stuff sack for maximum compression.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers require no setup; they are ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct size to fit comfortably over your intended base layer of clothing.
Compatibility: Designed as overtrousers, they are compatible with any standard hiking trousers, walking pants, or other base layers. They are intended for adult female use.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a technical wash or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and biological powders, as they can impede the waterproof coating.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators.
- Re-waterproofing: For best results, periodically re-waterproof using a spray-on or wash-in proofer suitable for synthetic fabrics, following the product's instructions. This helps maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
