FAQs

Are these overtrousers suitable for very cold weather?

These overtrousers are primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. For cold weather, layering with thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers underneath is recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart. It's advisable to measure around your waist and hips, and consider the circumference of your legs where the overtrousers will sit, especially if you plan to wear them over bulky trousers.

Can these be worn for running or high-intensity sports?

While breathable, they are designed for general outdoor use. For high-intensity sports, specialized waterproof running overtrousers might offer better ventilation and lighter weight.

How often should I re-waterproof them?

The frequency depends on usage and care. If you notice water no longer beading on the surface, it's a good time to consider a re-waterproofing treatment, typically after several washes or significant wear.

What is the warranty period for these overtrousers?

Please refer to the specific retailer or Craghoppers' official warranty policy for details on the warranty period and coverage.

Can I machine wash and tumble dry them?

Yes, they can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild detergent and tumble dried on a low heat setting. Avoid fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Overtrousers are leaking.

Check if the seams are fully taped. If the fabric itself seems to be failing, it may require re-waterproofing. Ensure no damage has occurred to the fabric or seams.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and allow them to dry. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zip lubricant to help them glide smoothly.

Overtrousers feel clammy inside.

This can occur in very humid conditions or during intense activity. Ensure the overtrousers are not too tight, allowing for air circulation. Consider opening the ankle zips slightly if possible.

The elastic waist is losing its stretch.

Ensure the overtrousers are not being stored under constant tension. Follow washing instructions carefully, as harsh detergents or high heat can degrade elastic over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and wind-resistant protection.
  • Highly packable for convenient storage and transport.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during exertion.
  • Easy on-and-off with zipped ankles.
  • Comfortable and secure fit with elasticated waist and drawcord.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for protection, may lack features for casual wear.
  • Material may be noisy in windy conditions.
  • Limited pocket options compared to standard trousers.
  • Fit might require layering for maximum warmth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These overtrousers require no setup; they are ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit over your regular clothing.

Compatibility: Designed to be worn over other clothing, such as hiking trousers or jeans. The zipped ankles accommodate various footwear types, from light shoes to sturdy boots.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fabric's breathability and waterproof performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider re-waterproofing treatments periodically, following the product instructions for the chosen treatment. This is typically done after washing and drying.
