Product Information
Full details
These Peter Storm Packable Pants are designed for adult women seeking reliable waterproof protection for outdoor activities like walking, hiking, and travel. Their primary benefit is keeping you dry during sudden downpours due to their waterproof and breathable nylon construction. A potential caveat is that they are overtrousers, meaning they are designed to be worn over other clothing, so fit over bulky items should be considered.

FAQs
Are these suitable for heavy rain?
These pants offer waterproof protection and are suitable for rain, but for prolonged exposure to torrential rain, more heavy-duty waterproofs might be considered. They are ideal for general shower protection.
Can I wear these on their own?
While technically possible, they are designed as overtrousers to be worn over other clothing for protection. They may not offer the comfort or insulation of dedicated base layer trousers.
How do I clean the pants?
You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What does 'packable' mean in this context?
It means the pants are designed to be lightweight and can be folded or rolled down into a very small size, easily fitting into a backpack or the included stuff sack without taking up much space.
What material are the pants made from?
They are made from 100% Nylon 210T main fabric with a PU coating.
Do these pants have full-length zips?
The product description mentions slit pockets but does not specify full-length zips. Typically, packable overtrousers may not have full zips for weight and bulk reduction.
What activities are these pants best suited for?
They are ideal for walking, hiking, backpacking, travelling, and any outdoor activity where sudden rain is a possibility and lightweight, packable protection is needed.
Troubleshooting
Pants are not fully waterproof.
Check for damage to the fabric or PU coating. Ensure all seams are intact. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment if necessary following product instructions.
Water not beading on the surface.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the pants according to care instructions and consider a re-proofing treatment.
Waistband feels too tight/loose.
Adjust the elasticated waistband. If the elastic is stretched out, consider if a different size might be more suitable for long-term wear.
Pants are difficult to pack.
Ensure the pants are completely dry before packing. Fold or roll them tightly towards the included stuff sack.
