FAQs

Are these overtrousers insulated?

No, these overtrousers are designed as a shell layer for waterproof and windproof protection, not for insulation.

How do I know what size to order?

Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart for accurate measurements. As these are unisex, consider the intended fit over your usual legwear.

Can these be worn for strenuous activities?

Yes, the ripstop fabric and breathable AquaDry membrane make them suitable for hiking and other outdoor activities. However, for very high-intensity activities, breathability might be a consideration depending on conditions.

How small do they pack down?

They are designed to pack into their own pocket, making them very compact and easy to store in a daypack or travel bag.

What is the 'reflective detail' for?

The reflective details are designed to improve your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as dusk or dawn, enhancing safety.

Do I need to wear anything underneath?

Yes, these are overtrousers designed to be worn over your regular clothing, such as trousers or shorts, for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Trousers are not completely waterproof.

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still effective. If not, consider re-proofing the garment following care instructions. Also, check that ankle zips and seams are fully closed.

Difficult to put on over boots.

Utilize the ankle zips fully. Loosen any adjustable cuffs if present. Ensure the overtrousers are the correct size for wearing over your base layers and boots.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Avoid fabric softeners during washing. If stiffness persists, a low heat tumble dry can help restore some suppleness.
