FAQs
Are these overtrousers insulated?
No, the Berghaus Stormcloud Waterproof Overtrousers are designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance, not insulation. They are intended to be worn over other clothing.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Berghaus, typically based on waist measurements. The product information indicates this model is a UK waist size 32.
Can I wear these for activities other than walking?
Yes, they are suitable for various outdoor activities such as cycling, camping, and general travel where protection from the elements is needed.
How waterproof is Hydroshell technology?
Hydroshell is Berghaus's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology, designed to keep you dry in challenging weather conditions.
What is the main advantage of the packable design?
The packable design means the overtrousers can be folded down to a very small size, taking up minimal space in your backpack when you don't need them.
How do I care for the waterproof coating?
Regular washing with a mild detergent and a low-heat tumble dry helps maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically for optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through
Ensure the outer fabric is clean and reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Check that all seams are intact.
Leg openings difficult to close
Ensure the fabric is not bunched up and the snaps are aligned correctly. Check for any debris obstructing the snaps.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Tumble dry on a low heat setting as recommended in the care instructions. This helps reactivate the DWR treatment.
