Product Information

Full details

These Peter Storm Waterproof Packable Pants are designed for men who enjoy outdoor activities like trekking, hiking, backpacking, and travelling. Their key benefit is providing reliable protection against sudden downpours due to their waterproof and breathable coating. A potential caveat is the regular leg length, which may not suit all individuals. These lightweight and packable trousers are constructed from durable 100% nylon 210T fabric with a PU coating, featuring an elasticated waistband, hem adjustment, and convenient pocket openings for easy access. They also include a mesh stuff sack for effortless storage.

FAQs

What type of activities are these trousers best suited for?

They are ideal for trekking, hiking, backpacking, and travelling, providing protection during wet weather.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Ensure there is enough room to wear them comfortably over your regular trousers. Check the product's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Can I wear these as my primary hiking trousers?

They are designed as overtrousers, meaning they are intended to be worn over other clothing. While they offer protection, they may not provide sufficient insulation on their own for cold weather.

How should I clean the waterproof trousers?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with warm water (around 40°C) and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Refer to the care label for specific instructions.

What is the main fabric and coating used?

The main fabric is 100% nylon 210T, coated with a PU (Polyurethane) layer for waterproofing.

Does it come with a stuff sack?

Yes, a mesh stuff sack is included for convenient and compact storage.

What is the leg length of the trousers?

All sizes have a regular leg length of approximately 79cm.

Troubleshooting

Pants are not fully waterproof after some use.

The PU coating may have degraded. Consider re-proofing the trousers with a suitable waterproofing treatment. Ensure seams are intact.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the elasticated waistband for a comfortable fit. If the elastic is significantly stretched, it may need replacement.

Difficulty adjusting the hem.

Ensure any toggles or drawstrings are clear of debris. If damaged, they may need repair or replacement.

Pants feel clammy inside during activity.

This can occur if the breathability is overwhelmed by exertion. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath and consider washing the garment as residue can affect breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective waterproof and breathable protection.
  • Lightweight and easy to pack for spontaneous weather changes.
  • Adjustable waistband and hem ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
  • Durable nylon material offers good resistance to wear and tear.
  • Allows access to pockets of undergarments.

Cons

  • Only available in a regular leg length, which may not suit all heights.
  • Primarily designed as overtrousers, may require layering for warmth.
  • Limited pocket functionality as they are overtrousers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These overtrousers require no specific setup. Simply wear them over your existing clothing.

Compatibility: Designed for men, these trousers are intended to be worn over standard hiking or walking trousers. Ensure you select the correct size to fit comfortably over your base layers and mid-layers.

Care:

  • Washing: Machine washable according to care label instructions. Typically, a warm wash (around 40°C) is recommended. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the waterproof coating.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  • Re-proofing: Over time, the waterproof coating may lose its effectiveness. Consider using a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear to maintain performance. Follow the product's specific re-proofing instructions.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Use the provided stuff sack for compact storage when not in use.
