FAQs

What age group are these trousers for?

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

Are these trousers insulated for cold weather?

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.

How do I clean the trousers?

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.

What does 8,000mm waterproof mean?

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.

Can these trousers be worn with wellington boots?

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

What material are the trousers made from?

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

Can I find these trousers in other colours or sizes?

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.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside after use.

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.

Water appears to be leaking through the fabric.

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.

Elasticated waist is too loose or too tight.

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.
