FAQs

Are these overtrousers suitable for extreme weather?

The AquaDry fabric offers reliable waterproof and breathable protection, making them suitable for most wet weather conditions encountered during outdoor activities. For extreme, prolonged downpours or very cold conditions, you might consider layering options.

How do I choose the right size?

The overtrousers are designed for a relaxed fit and are intended to be worn over other clothing. Consult the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. Consider the fit of the trousers you will wear underneath.

Can I wear these for sports like cycling?

Yes, the lightweight, breathable fabric and adjustable ankle zips make them practical for cycling or other activities where mobility and protection from rain are needed. The relaxed fit allows for comfortable movement.

What is the main difference between the Expert Overtrouser II and other models?

The Expert Overtrouser II features AquaDry guaranteed waterproof and breathable fabric, fully taped seams, adjustable waist and ankle zips, heel tape reinforcement, and a lightweight, packable design. Specific sibling models may vary slightly in material or minor features.

How durable are the heel tape reinforcements?

The heel tape reinforcement is designed to protect against abrasion from footwear, enhancing the durability of the overtrousers in high-wear areas. With proper care, these areas should provide long-lasting protection.

Do I need to wear base layers underneath?

You can wear base layers or your regular trousers underneath. The overtrousers are designed to be worn as an outer layer for protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Overtrousers are not fully waterproof.

Ensure all zips are fully closed and seam-sealed areas are intact. If performance has degraded over time, consider a re-waterproofing treatment.

Ankle zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zip teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the zip. Dry thoroughly.

Fabric feels damp inside despite no rain.

This may be due to condensation. Ensure the ankle zips are open slightly for ventilation if conditions allow. Proper care and occasional cleaning can help maintain breathability.

Care Instructions:
