FAQs

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

Yes, they are constructed with 2L ePE GORE-TEX fabric, which is known for its excellent waterproof and breathable properties, offering protection from torrential rain.

Can I wear these in warmer weather?

Yes, the breathable GORE-TEX fabric and two-way side zips allow for ventilation, making them suitable for use in warmer conditions when rain is a possibility. You can adjust the ventilation as needed.

How do I clean the overtrousers?

Machine wash at 40°C using a liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softener. Wash with zips closed and pockets empty.

What does 'PFAS-free' mean?

PFAS-free means the fabric does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals often used in waterproofing treatments. This designation indicates a more environmentally conscious manufacturing process with a reduced carbon footprint.

Can I pack these easily for travel?

Yes, the trousers have an internal pocket designed for packing them away neatly, making them compact and easy to store in a backpack or luggage.

What is the purpose of knee articulation?

Knee articulation means the trousers are shaped and cut to allow for greater freedom of movement. This prevents restriction around the knees, which is beneficial during activities like hiking, climbing, or cycling.

Do these overtrousers have pockets for my hands?

The Berghaus Hillwalker 2.0 Overtrousers feature one internal security pocket. They do not have traditional hand-warmer pockets.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the surface of the trousers.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If this doesn't resolve the issue, consider applying a new DWR treatment following product instructions.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zips are clean and free from dirt or debris. You can lubricate them gently with a graphite pencil or a specialized zip lubricant. Avoid forcing the zips.

Trousers feel clammy inside.

This can happen in very high humidity or during intense activity. Open the two-way side zips further for increased ventilation. Ensure you are not overheating by adjusting your base layers.

Waist cord is not holding its adjustment.

Check that the cord lock is functioning correctly. Ensure the cord is threaded through the lock mechanism properly. If the cord itself is frayed, it may need replacing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance due to GORE-TEX fabric.
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged use.
  • Easy to put on and take off with two-way side zips.
  • Good freedom of movement thanks to knee articulation.
  • Adjustable fit for comfort and weather protection.
  • Environmentally conscious with PFAS-free fabric.

Cons

  • May require careful sizing, especially for those between standard sizes.
  • Minimalist design may lack features found in more technical overtrousers (e.g., reinforced seat).
  • Internal pocket size might be limiting for larger items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These overtrousers require no setup. Simply adjust the waist drawcord and hem for a comfortable and secure fit before wearing. Ensure the storm flaps over the side zips are correctly fastened.

Compatibility: Designed for outdoor use, they are compatible with most hiking boots and outdoor footwear. They can be layered over regular trousers or base layers, with room provided around the knees for layering systems suitable for year-round use.

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with a liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener. Wash with zips closed and pockets empty.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do NOT dry on a radiator.
  3. Re-waterproofing: After several washes, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Follow the product instructions for your chosen re-waterproofer. Avoid ironing.
