Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Howgill Packable Overtrouser is designed for adults, offering unisex wearability and essential protection against unpredictable weather. Its key benefit is instant waterproofing and windproofing thanks to ripstop AquaDry Membrane construction, allowing you to pack it away when not needed. A potential caveat is its specific design for changeable conditions, meaning it may be more than necessary in consistently dry environments.

FAQs

Are these overtrousers insulated?

No, these overtrousers are designed for waterproofing and windproofing and are not insulated. They are intended to be worn over other clothing.

How do I know what size to order?

These overtrousers are designed to fit over other trousers. It is recommended to choose a size that will comfortably accommodate your usual outdoor trousers. Refer to the sizing guide on the retailer's website for specific measurements.

Can I wear these in warm weather?

While they offer protection, they are primarily for protection against wind and rain. In very warm and humid conditions, they may cause you to overheat due to their waterproof nature.

How waterproof are they?

They feature Craghoppers' AquaDry Membrane construction, which provides instant and reliable protection from wind and rain, making them suitable for changeable weather conditions.

What does 'packable' mean in this context?

'Packable' means the overtrousers can be easily folded or compressed into their own integrated pocket, making them very convenient to carry when not in use.

How should I clean them to maintain waterproofing?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and tumble drying. Re-proofing with a suitable spray is recommended periodically.

Are there different lengths available?

The product information indicates they are 'Reg' (Regular) length. Please check the specific product listing for any variations.

Troubleshooting

Overtrousers feel damp inside despite no rain.

This could be due to perspiration. Ensure adequate ventilation if possible, or consider wearing lighter base layers underneath in warmer conditions.

Water is not beading off the fabric.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Follow the product care instructions for re-proofing.

Ankle zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric obstruction within the zip. Gently clean the zip track with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Avoid using excessive force.

The overtrousers do not pack down easily.

Ensure the garment is completely dry before attempting to pack it into its pocket. Fold it neatly before stuffing to make it more compact.
