FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
The product description highlights warmth and stretch but does not specify waterproofing. While the polyester blend offers some inherent water resistance, it is best to assume they are not fully waterproof and consider additional rain gear in wet conditions.
What kind of activities are these best for?
These trousers are ideal for outdoor activities in cooler weather, specifically trekking, walking, and rambling, where warmth, agility, and comfort are important.
Can I wear these in very cold or extreme winter conditions?
They are designed for winter and provide warmth with a brushed backing. For very cold or extreme conditions, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended to enhance insulation.
How should I wash these trousers?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to preserve the fabric's integrity and stretch.
Do these trousers have pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not specify whether these trousers include pockets or other storage features.
What material are these trousers made from?
They are made from a blend of 93% Polyester and 7% Elastane, offering a combination of warmth, durability, and stretch.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too warm during activity.
These are designed for winter; if you're feeling too warm, you might be overdressed for the current temperature or your activity level. Consider lighter base layers or save them for colder days. Ensure proper ventilation if possible.
Fabric seems to lose some warmth after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions carefully, especially avoiding fabric softeners, which can coat fibers and reduce insulation properties. Air drying helps maintain fabric integrity. Excessive washing can sometimes compact brushed fibers.
The stretch properties seem reduced.
High heat during washing or drying can degrade elastane. Always wash with cold water and tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid using bleach, which can also damage synthetic fibers.
Fabric pilling (small balls of fiber forming).
Pilling can occur with friction. Wash inside out to reduce abrasion. Avoid washing with rougher fabrics like denim. A fabric shaver can gently remove existing pills.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Karrimor Panther Winter Trousers. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions. General guidelines for polyester/elastane blends include:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid hot water, as it can damage the fabric's stretch properties.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, which can break down the fibers and reduce the fabric's effectiveness.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang to air dry. High heat can cause shrinkage or damage to the elastane.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting. Avoid direct contact with any printed logos or features.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the trousers are clean and dry before storing to prevent mildew or odors.
