FAQs

Are these overtrousers suitable for very cold weather?

The overtrousers provide excellent waterproofing and wind resistance, but their primary function is weather protection, not insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer with warm base and mid-layers underneath.

Can I wear these for high-intensity activities like running?

While they offer good waterproofing and breathability, the straight-leg cut might feel slightly restrictive for very dynamic movements compared to specialized running overtrousers. They are best suited for hiking, walking, and general outdoor use.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the Berghaus sizing chart, paying close attention to the waist measurements. It's advisable to consider what layers you'll be wearing underneath and choose a size that allows for comfortable movement.

What is Hydroshell technology?

Hydroshell is Berghaus's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology, designed to keep you dry and comfortable in wet weather conditions.

How should I clean my overtrousers if they get muddy?

Gently brush off loose dirt. Then, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Do these overtrousers have any pockets?

The product description does not mention any pockets. They are designed for lightweight, packable protection.

Troubleshooting

Overtrousers are not fully waterproof anymore

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Wash the overtrousers according to care instructions and then re-apply a DWR treatment. Ensure seams are sealed if leakage persists.

Snap release leg openings are stiff or difficult to fasten/unfasten

Clean the snaps to remove any dirt or debris. If the issue persists, a small application of silicone lubricant to the snap mechanism might help.

Product feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the inner fabric is clean. Sweat and dirt can impede breathability. Wash the overtrousers and ensure they are completely dry before use. Check that any ventilation points (if applicable) are clear.
