Fort 983 Splashflex Childs Waterproof Trousers - Blue - 1-2

These trousers are designed for kids, specifically in the 1-2 UK size for this variant.

The trousers are waterproof and windproof, providing a barrier against the elements. They are not heavily insulated and are intended to be worn over regular clothing, with additional layers added for very cold conditions.

You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, at a low temperature (around 30-40°C). Avoid using fabric softener. They can be tumble dried on low or air-dried.

A rating of 8,000mm indicates a high level of waterproofness, meaning the fabric can withstand 8,000 millimeters of water pressure before leaks occur. This is suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

Yes, the studded ankle adjustment allows you to secure the trousers over wellington boots or shoes, helping to keep water and mud out.

They are made from 190gsm PU coated polyester, featuring Fort-Tex fabric for enhanced weather protection.

Yes, the Fort 983 Splashflex range is available in other colours like Green and in various child sizes. Please check sibling product listings for available options.

Ensure the trousers are properly dried after washing. Check that the waterproof coating is intact and consider a reproofing treatment if performance has degraded. Also, ensure adequate ventilation if worn for prolonged periods during high activity.

Inspect the fabric for any tears or damage. If the fabric is intact, the waterproof coating may have worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for PU-coated materials.

The elasticated waist is designed for a snug fit. If it's too loose, consider if a size down might be more appropriate. If too tight, ensure there are no obstructions and that the trousers are fully adjusted.
