Product Information
Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Waterproof Pants are designed for adult women who need reliable, portable weather protection during outdoor activities like hiking or walking. Their primary benefit is the ability to provide an immediate waterproof barrier that packs down into a compact mesh sack, making them an essential "just-in-case" item for your backpack. However, because they are designed as an over-pant, they may feel loose if worn over lightweight clothing without the waistband adjustment tightened.

FAQs
Are these pants meant to be worn alone?
These are designed as over-pants to be worn over your regular trousers for waterproof protection.
Can I dry these in a tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry these pants in a well-ventilated area to protect the integrity of the waterproof fabric.
What does the stuff sack look like?
The pants come with a compact mesh stuff sack that promotes airflow, helping prevent mold if the pants were packed away while slightly damp.
Do these pants have pockets?
They feature pocket openings that allow you to reach through to the pockets of the trousers worn underneath, rather than having integrated storage pockets.
How do I choose the right size?
Since these are over-pants, they are sized to fit over your normal clothing. Purchase your standard UK dress size.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; clean the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Difficulty pulling over boots
Ensure the hem adjustment is fully loosened before attempting to step through the leg holes.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely compact and easy to carry
- Tough nylon fabric is built for durability
- Easy to pull on quickly without removing footwear
- Adjustable fit at waist and hem
Cons
- Not intended for long-term wear as primary trousers
- Breathability is limited by the waterproof membrane
- Material may be noisy during movement compared to softer fabrics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your pants remain effective, keep them stored in the included mesh sack when not in use to allow any residual moisture to evaporate. When dirty, spot clean with a damp cloth or hand wash in cold water with a mild technical fabric detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating. To restore the water-repellency over time, you can apply a standard wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatment. Because they are designed as over-pants, they are cut slightly larger to accommodate layers underneath; choose your standard dress size for an easy fit over regular walking trousers.
