Product Information

Full details

The Berghaus Stormcloud Waterproof Overtrousers are designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Their key benefit is packable waterproofing, allowing you to carry them easily for unexpected downpours. A potential caveat is that while offering good protection, they are primarily for use over other clothing and not as standalone thermal wear. These overtrousers feature Berghaus's Hydroshell waterproof technology, snap release leg openings for easy on/off, and a straight leg cut for a comfortable fit.

FAQs

Are these overtrousers insulated?

No, the Berghaus Stormcloud Overtrousers are designed for waterproofing and wind protection and do not contain insulation. They are intended to be worn over your regular clothing.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the size guide provided by Berghaus. These overtrousers are typically designed to be worn over other trousers, so you may want to consider a size that allows for layering, but ensure it's not excessively baggy.

Can I wear these on their own without trousers underneath?

While they are waterproof, they are designed as overtrousers, meaning they are intended to be worn over other garments. They lack features like a comfortable lining for direct skin contact and may not provide adequate warmth on their own.

How often should I re-waterproof them?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric. Typically, this might be after several washes or extensive use in wet weather.

What is Hydroshell technology?

Hydroshell is Berghaus's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology, engineered to provide reliable protection from the elements while allowing moisture vapour to escape.

Can the leg openings be adjusted?

The leg openings feature snap releases for ease of use, but they do not have adjustable drawcords or zips for a custom fit. The fit is a straight leg design.

Troubleshooting

Overtrousers feel damp inside

This could be due to condensation, especially during high exertion. Ensure the leg openings are not fully sealed if possible, or consider if the garment needs re-waterproofing if water is penetrating the fabric.

Difficult to pull on over boots

Utilize the full extent of the snap release leg openings. Ensure the zips (if present) are fully open and the snaps are undone. Wearing slightly looser fitting overtrousers or trousers underneath may also help.

Water not beading on the surface

The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear following the product instructions.
