Product Information
Full details
The Gelert Horizon Waterproof Trousers are an ideal choice for female outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection against unpredictable weather conditions during hiking, camping, or general outdoor activities. These trousers utilize advanced StormLite 5000 technology to provide a windproof and waterproof barrier while maintaining comfort through a breathable mesh lining, though users should note that they are designed specifically for active, layering-focused outdoor use rather than heavy-duty mountaineering.

FAQs
Are these trousers designed to be worn over other pants?
Yes, they are designed as functional waterproof over-trousers, providing a protective shell layer over your standard hiking clothes.
Can I machine wash these?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the waterproof coating.
What is StormLite 5000?
StormLite 5000 is a technical material developed to offer a waterproof and windproof rating suitable for general outdoor and hiking environments.
Are they suitable for winter use?
They provide excellent windproofing and wet weather protection, but they are not insulated. You should wear thermal base layers underneath for warmth in cold temperatures.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Use the internal drawcord to cinch the waist and the press stud fastenings at the ankles to secure the fit around your boots.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Apply a specialized waterproofing wash or spray for synthetic fabrics.
Condensation build-up inside the trousers
Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton, and adjust your pace to allow the mesh lining to circulate air.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent ventilation thanks to internal mesh

Cons
- Polyester material may be less breathable than high-end membrane fabrics
- Limited to black color option
- Fit is tailored, so check sizing for layering needs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your trousers is straightforward: simply pull them on as an over-trouser layer and adjust the inner drawcord until the waist sits comfortably. For care, it is recommended to wipe off excess mud with a damp cloth after use. If the trousers require a deeper clean, wash them on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for technical waterproof gear. Always hang them to air dry away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the waterproof coating over time. To maintain water repellency, you may periodically need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after repeated heavy washing.
