Product Information

Full details

The Fort Flex Waterproof Work Trousers are designed for adult males needing robust protection against water and wind. Their key benefit is complete outdoor weatherproofing with high-performance fabric and welded seams, ensuring you stay dry in challenging conditions. A potential caveat is the material weight, which may be noticeable for prolonged, high-exertion activities. These trousers are constructed from PU coated Polyester (330gsm), featuring waterproof fabric up to 10,000mm, windproof properties, welded seams, hip access slits, and Fortex fabric for durability and flexibility. They are the ideal complement to Fort Flex and Flex Lined Jackets.

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of these trousers?

The Fort Flex Waterproof Work Trousers have a waterproof rating of 10,000mm.

Can I wear these for heavy physical activity?

While designed for flexibility, the 330gsm material weight might feel substantial for very high-exertion activities. They are best suited for general work and outdoor tasks requiring reliable weather protection.

How do I clean the trousers?

You can machine wash them at 40°C. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for full details.

What material are the trousers made from?

They are made from PU Coated Polyester with a material weight of 330gsm.

Are these trousers suitable for women?

These trousers are specifically designed and marketed for adult males.

How do the hip access slits work?

The hip access slits are designed to allow you to reach the pockets of the trousers or shorts you are wearing underneath the waterproof trousers without having to pull them down.

What is the purpose of the poppered hem adjustments?

The poppered hem adjustments allow you to tighten the bottom of the trouser legs. This helps to prevent water from entering and can provide a more comfortable and secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through seams.

Ensure seams are intact. If they appear damaged, consider a seam sealant suitable for waterproof fabrics. Regular re-waterproofing may also be needed.

Trousers feel damp inside.

This could be due to condensation. Ensure proper ventilation if possible, and consider the moisture-wicking properties of the base layers worn underneath.

Difficulty adjusting hem.

Ensure the poppers are clean and free from debris. If they are stiff, try gently cleaning around the popper mechanism.

PU coating is peeling or damaged.

Damage to the PU coating will compromise waterproofing. Unfortunately, this is difficult to repair and may require replacement of the trousers.
