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:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, fabric conditioners, or bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent.
- 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.
- 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.
