FAQs
Are these trousers insulated?
No, the Pakka range is unlined and lightweight, designed to be worn over your existing clothes.
Can I wear these for skiing?
These are not designed for skiing or high-alpine environments; they are best suited for general walking, hiking, and rainy days.
How do I clean them?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Are they noisy to walk in?
Due to the lightweight nylon construction, there may be some swishing sound during movement, which is common for waterproof over-trousers.
What is the sizing like?
They are designed to be worn over other clothing, so they have a slightly generous fit to accommodate layers.
Are they completely waterproof?
They are rated for 1500mm of water pressure, which provides excellent protection in light to moderate rain showers.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through
The waterproof coating may need refreshing. Try applying a DWR re-proofer spray after cleaning the garment.
Condensation builds up inside
While the fabric is breathable, high-intensity activity can exceed its limits. Try layering with moisture-wicking base layers instead of cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To put these on, simply slide them over your current footwear and pull the elasticated waistband up. The touch-fastening hem allows you to tighten the bottom to prevent dirt or water from splashing up into your boots. Regarding care, always allow the trousers to air dry completely before folding them back into their storage bag to prevent moisture buildup or mildew. When washing, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof coating. If the water-repellent finish wears off over time, you can refresh it with a dedicated spray-on DWR treatment.
