FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for all seasons?
Yes, they are designed for all-year-round performance, though you may need to wear thermal base layers underneath in freezing temperatures.
Does the insect protection wear off after washing?
The Nosi Defence protection is built into the fabric construction, not a topical coating, so it remains effective throughout the life of the garment.
What is the best way to clean these trousers?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent and hang dry for best results.
Do they provide protection against all types of UV rays?
The SolarShield technology provides UPF 30-50+ protection against UVA and UVB rays, depending on the fabric density and color.
Are these trousers considered waterproof?
They are water-repellent (water-resistant) due to the H2OShield finish, which sheds light rain, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading.
The DWR finish has likely worn off; re-apply a DWR-safe re-proofing spray after washing.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild liquid detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, which can clog the breathable weave of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard hiking trousers, no setup is required beyond ensuring the correct fit at the waist. To maintain the integrity of the H2OShield water repellent finish, it is recommended to wash the garment with specialized outdoor gear cleaners rather than standard household detergents, which can strip away the DWR coating. Always air dry the trousers to preserve the fabric structure and prevent unnecessary heat damage to the synthetic fibers. If you find water is no longer beading on the surface after extended use, a simple re-proofing spray can restore the water repellency effectively.
