FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
The trousers feature an Ecoshield plant-based water-repellent finish, which provides protection against light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged or heavy downpours.
How effective is the insect protection?
The NosiDefence technology helps to protect your skin from insect bites by creating a protective barrier. It is designed to deter insects but is not a substitute for personal insect repellent in areas with high insect activity.
What does UPF50+ mean?
UPF50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.
How should I wash these trousers?
They are machine washable at 30°C with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. They are designed to be quick-drying.
Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the trousers come with a removable belt, allowing you to adjust the fit or use your own preferred belt.
What materials are used in these trousers?
The primary material is 96% polyamide and 4% elastane, offering durability, stretch, and quick-drying properties. A portion of the fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles.
Are these suitable for very hot weather?
The quick-drying and breathable nature of the fabric make them suitable for warm weather. However, for extremely high temperatures, lighter, more breathable options might be considered, though these trousers offer good comfort due to their stretch.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced
The Ecoshield finish may need refreshing. Consider reapplying a suitable water-repellent treatment suitable for technical fabrics.
Trousers feel restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size and that the trousers are not too tight. The stretchy fabric should allow for movement; check if the fit is appropriate for your body shape.
Insect protection seems ineffective
NosiDefence provides a level of protection by creating a barrier. For areas with high insect populations, consider using additional insect repellent on exposed skin or clothing.
Zipper is difficult to use
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear and not caught. Gently try to move the zipper. If it continues to be stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specific zipper lubricant can help.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or line dry. They are designed to dry quickly.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
