FAQs

Are these bottoms waterproof?

No, they feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which resists light rain and wind but is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged precipitation, waterproof outer layers are recommended.

Can I wear these on their own without waders?

Yes, they are designed for standalone wear in rough or cool weather, offering wind and water resistance.

What is Storm Fleece Pro?

Storm Fleece Pro is a technical fabric that provides 4-way stretch, insulation, and a DWR finish for enhanced weather protection and comfort.

How do I wash and care for these bottoms?

Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron. Avoid fabric softeners.

What sizes are available?

These bottoms are available in adult male sizes ranging from Small to XXLarge.

What is the primary benefit of the DWR finish?

The C0 DWR finish helps water bead up and roll off the fabric surface, protecting you from wind and light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

The C0 DWR finish may need refreshing. Wash with a technical fabric wash and consider a DWR re-treatment spray after washing. Avoid fabric softeners.

Garment feels cold when wet

While the fleece offers insulation, prolonged saturation in heavy rain can affect its thermal properties. Ensure adequate waterproof outer layers are used in such conditions.

Stretching out of shape

Ensure correct sizing. If the garment feels loose, it might be too large. Proper washing and drying (avoiding high heat) will help maintain the fabric's integrity.
