FAQs
Are these trousers insulated for cold weather?
These are primarily waterproof and windproof trousers designed for protection against the elements. They are not insulated, so for very cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How do I clean mud off the trousers?
Remove excess mud and debris. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a technical wash. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents.
What is the best way to dry these trousers?
Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid ironing, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
How often should I re-waterproof them?
The frequency depends on usage and how well they perform. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up on the surface. Typically, this might be after several washes or a season of heavy use. Use a specific spray for technical outerwear.
Can these trousers be worn for activities other than mountain biking?
Yes, they are suitable for any outdoor activity where protection from rain and mud is needed, such as hiking, playing in the garden, or general outdoor exploration.
What if my child is between sizes?
Given the adjustable waistband, it's often best to choose the size that fits best around the waist and hips for comfort and freedom of movement. The adjustability can help accommodate slight variations.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through seams.
Ensure seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may need reapplication, or seams might require professional re-sealing.
Waistband is too loose or too tight.
Adjust the internal or external waistband fasteners to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the child has room to move without the trousers slipping down.
Trousers feel clammy or less breathable.
This can happen in very humid conditions or with high exertion. Ensure the garment is clean; dirt can clog breathable membranes. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.
