Product Information
Full details
Designed for adult males, the Berghaus Stormcloud Waterproof Overtrousers offer reliable protection against the elements with their Hydroshell waterproof technology. Their key benefit is providing essential rain protection that packs down small, making them ideal for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. A minor caveat is their straight-leg design, which may not suit all preferences for fit. These overtrousers feature snap-release leg openings for easy on-and-off, a comfortable straight-leg cut, and a highly packable design.

FAQs
Are these overtrousers insulated?
No, the Berghaus Stormcloud Waterproof Overtrousers are designed as a waterproof shell and are not insulated. They are intended to be worn over other clothing for protection against rain.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Berghaus sizing guide for men's waist measurements to select the best fit for your needs. The size indicated, such as '40' for waist UK, refers to the waist circumference in inches.
Can I wear these for running?
While they offer waterproof protection, their straight-leg design and packable focus might make them less ideal for high-intensity running compared to specialized running overtrousers. They are primarily designed for walking and hiking.
How often should I re-proof the overtrousers?
Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric, typically after a significant number of washes or extensive use.
What is Hydroshell technology?
Hydroshell is Berghaus's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology, designed to keep you dry from the outside in and comfortable during outdoor activities.
Can the waist be adjusted?
Yes, the overtrousers typically feature an elasticated waistband, often with a drawcord, allowing for a secure and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before re-proofing.
Leg openings are difficult to adjust.
Ensure the snap fasteners are fully engaged or disengaged. If they feel stiff, check for any debris caught in the mechanism. The snap-release feature is designed for ease of use over footwear.
Overtrousers feel clammy inside.
This can happen in high-exertion activities. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath. Proper washing without fabric softener helps maintain breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These overtrousers require no complex setup. Simply adjust the waist if needed and pull them on.
Compatibility: The Berghaus Stormcloud Waterproof Overtrousers are designed for adult males and are compatible with most hiking boots and outdoor footwear due to their straight-leg design and snap-release openings. They are intended to be worn over base layers or regular hiking trousers.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as this can impair the waterproof performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Re-proofing: Periodically, or when water no longer beads on the surface, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product's instructions. This will help maintain the garment's waterproof and breathable qualities.
