Product Information
Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Waterproof Pants are an essential layer for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and walkers who need reliable protection against sudden downpours. These nylon trousers offer a high level of waterproof security and convenience due to their lightweight, collapsible design, making them a perfect addition to any daypack. While they provide excellent utility and comfort via an adjustable fit, it is important to note that as a secondary waterproof layer, they are designed to be worn over existing trousers rather than as standalone apparel.

FAQs
Are these pants meant to be worn alone?
No, they are designed to be worn as an over-trouser layer to protect your primary clothing from rain.
Can I fit these over thick hiking boots?
Yes, the hem adjustment feature allows you to open the leg enough to slide the pants over most standard hiking boots.
Is the material breathable?
While the nylon construction is durable and waterproof, it is standard for such layers to have lower breathability than expensive multi-layer membranes. It is best suited for moderate activity levels.
How do I use the pocket openings?
The pants feature slits on the side that act as pass-throughs, allowing you to access the pockets of the trousers worn underneath.
What is the best way to clean them?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a dedicated outdoor gear cleaner. Hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking through the fabric during prolonged heavy rain
Ensure the garment is clean. Dirt and oils can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, which may require re-application with a technical waterproofing spray.
Pants feel stiff or uncomfortable
Adjust the elasticated waistband to sit higher or lower on your hips and ensure the hem adjustments are not overly tightened, which can restrict leg movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, always shake off excess mud and water before packing the pants into the mesh stuff sack. If they become dirty, wash them in cool water on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner; avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating. When not in use, ensure the pants are completely dry before folding to prevent mildew growth inside the storage sack. These are designed as a universal fit size 18, so verify they fit comfortably over your preferred hiking trousers before heading out on a long expedition.
