FAQs
Are these fully waterproof or water-resistant?
These trousers are designed to be waterproof, featuring a waterproof PU coating to protect against heavy rain.
Can I wear these on their own?
While they provide waterproof protection, they are designed as overtrousers, meaning they are intended to be worn over other garments for rain protection rather than as standalone pants.
How do the pocket openings work?
The two pocket openings allow you to access the pockets of the trousers you are wearing underneath the waterproof overtrousers.
What is the material of the trousers?
The trousers are made from 100% nylon 210T main fabric with a waterproof PU coating.
How do I adjust the fit?
The fit can be adjusted using the elasticated waistband and the hem adjustment feature.
What is included with the trousers?
The trousers include a mesh stuff sack for convenient and compact storage.
What temperature should I wash them at?
It is recommended to wash them at a low temperature, such as 30°C, with a mild detergent.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel damp inside during heavy rain.
Ensure the waistband and hem adjustments are snug. Check that the pocket openings are properly aligned and not gaping, which can allow water ingress. The PU coating may also degrade over extended periods of heavy use, affecting waterproofing.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
The waterproof coating may be compromised. For minor issues, consider using a fabric-specific re-waterproofer spray. For significant damage, the trousers may need replacement.
Difficult to pack into the stuff sack.
Ensure the trousers are completely dry and as flat as possible before folding. Roll them tightly to expel excess air.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trousers require no complex setup. Simply unpack them from the included mesh stuff sack.
Compatibility:
Designed as overtrousers, they are compatible with most standard trousers and pants worn underneath. They are intended for adult use.
Care:
- Washing: Machine washable at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C) with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the waterproof coating.

- Storage: Store in the provided mesh stuff sack in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in damp conditions.
