Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Maitland GORE-TEX Waterproof Trousers are designed for women seeking reliable protection from driving rain during outdoor activities. Their key benefit is providing a fully waterproof yet breathable shield that remains comfortable and unrestrictive, even when worn over other layers. A potential caveat is their primary function as overtrousers, meaning they are best utilized when needed rather than as standalone insulated trousers. Key features include GORE-TEX technology, articulated fit, adjustable ankle zips, and a packable design.

FAQs

Are these trousers insulated?

No, the Berghaus Maitland GORE-TEX Waterproof Trousers are designed as overtrousers, providing waterproof and breathable protection over your existing clothing. They do not offer insulation on their own.

Can I wear these in warm weather?

Yes, the GORE-TEX fabric is breathable, which helps to manage moisture and heat. While they are waterproof protection, the breathability makes them suitable for use in warmer, wet conditions to prevent overheating.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to a standard UK women's dress size chart. This specific model is for UK size 20, but other sizes may be available. Ensure you check the size guide provided by Berghaus for precise measurements.

How compact are they for packing?

They are designed to be lightweight and packable. You can fold them down to fit easily into a side pocket of a backpack or a small stuff sack for carrying when not in use.

What is the warranty period for these trousers?

Berghaus typically offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Please check the specific warranty information provided at the point of purchase or on the official Berghaus website for details.

Can I use these for activities other than hiking?

Yes, these waterproof overtrousers are suitable for a range of outdoor activities where protection from rain is needed, including walking, camping, cycling in wet conditions, or attending outdoor events.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are no longer waterproof (water soaks in)

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the trousers as per care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the DWR. If ineffective, apply a new DWR treatment.

Ankle zips are stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zips are clean and free from dirt or debris. Gently try to move the zip. If necessary, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip teeth.

Reduced breathability

The fabric's pores may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Ensure you are washing with a suitable detergent and rinsing thoroughly, avoiding fabric conditioners.

Fit feels restrictive

Confirm you are wearing the correct size. These are overtrousers, so ensure they are being worn over appropriate base layers or hiking trousers, not intended as standalone tight-fitting garments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable protection from GORE-TEX.
  • Designed for freedom of movement with an articulated fit.
  • Convenient for variable weather due to packable design.
  • Easy to put on and take off over boots with adjustable ankle zips.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with an elasticated waistband.

Cons

  • Primarily designed as overtrousers, not standalone insulated trousers.
  • May be bulkier than a simple water-resistant shell if not packed correctly.
  • Specific UK size 20 might limit availability for some customers.
  • Lacks features like hand pockets, as is common for overtrousers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These overtrousers are designed for immediate use. Simply pull them on over your existing clothing. Adjust the elasticated waistband for a comfortable fit. Use the ankle zips to open or close the lower leg for ease of wear over boots and to secure them once in place.

Compatibility: The Maitland GORE-TEX Overtrousers are designed to be worn over other garments, such as hiking trousers or base layers. The adjustable ankle zips accommodate various types of footwear, from lightweight trail shoes to heavier walking boots.

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, fabric conditioners, or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or drip dry. Once dry, tumble dry for 20 minutes to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, re-proof using a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing product, following the product's instructions.
