FAQs

Are these trousers machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable, but always check the care label and use a gentle cycle with a tech-wash detergent to preserve the waterproof finish.

Can these be worn over other trousers?

Yes, the design allows them to be worn as an over-trouser layer, though sizing up may be required for a comfortable fit.

Are the pockets truly waterproof?

The trousers feature waterproof zips designed to keep contents dry, but they should not be submerged in water.

Do these trousers provide thermal insulation?

They are primarily a waterproof outer shell with a mesh lining for breathability, rather than a thermal insulating layer.

How do I determine the right size?

The sizes correspond to the child's age group (e.g., 5-6 or 7-8). The elasticated waist allows for some flexibility in fit.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the outer fabric

The protective DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a specialist spray-on waterproofing treatment.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the teeth. Gently clean the zip with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based zip lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing for harsh outdoor conditions
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during active play
  • Teflon coating makes cleaning mud and debris much easier
  • Adjustable waist and hems provide versatility for different sizes

Cons

  • Material may feel slightly stiff compared to soft casual trousers
  • Limited to specific green outdoor colorway
  • Polyester fabric can be noisy during movement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating, follow these guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface mud. If machine washing, use a non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof properties.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
  3. Compatibility: These trousers work best when layered over lightweight base layers or thermal leggings during colder months to maintain breathability.
  4. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew from building up within the mesh lining.
