FAQs

Are these overtrousers insulated?

No, the Craghoppers Howgill Packable Overtrousers are designed as a shell layer for waterproofing and windproofing, not for insulation.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the size guide provided by Craghoppers, taking into account that these are designed to be worn over other clothing. It may be beneficial to measure your existing trousers.

Can I wear these for hiking in heavy rain?

Yes, the AquaDry Membrane construction provides instant protection from wind and rain, making them suitable for hiking in wet conditions.

How small do they pack down?

They pack into their own pocket, making them very compact and easy to store in a backpack or glove compartment.

Are they breathable?

The AquaDry Membrane offers a balance of waterproofing and breathability, helping to manage moisture during activity.

What is the main advantage of ripstop fabric?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping, increasing the durability of the garment.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C, but avoid using fabric conditioner or bleach.

Troubleshooting

Overtrousers feel damp inside

Ensure the AquaDry Membrane is functioning correctly. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment if necessary, following the product's instructions. Also, check that you are not experiencing condensation due to high activity levels; ensure ankle zips are adjusted for ventilation.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zippers with a damp cloth and a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Seams appear to be leaking

Inspect the seam tape for any signs of damage or peeling. While typically very durable, significant wear may affect seam integrity. Contact customer support if the issue persists after checking other troubleshooting steps.
