Full details

The Craghoppers Brisk Trousers are designed for adult males seeking durable, comfortable, and sustainable outdoor wear. Their key benefit lies in their robust ECOSHIELD water repellency and UPF40+ sun protection, making them ideal for various expeditions. A minor caveat is that while the finish offers water repellency, they are not fully waterproof. These trail-ready pants are crafted from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, offering a low-maintenance and easy-to-wear solution for everyday adventures.

FAQs

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

No, the Brisk Trousers feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish and ECOSHIELD technology, which provide resistance to light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and may not perform in prolonged heavy downpours.

What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a SolarShield UPF40+ rating, offering excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

How do I choose the right size?

Please refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart, which provides detailed measurements for waist and inseam to help you select the best fit.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

We recommend avoiding fabric softeners as they can interfere with and degrade the durable water repellent finish and overall fabric performance.

What does 'partly made from recycled materials' mean?

These trousers are made using a blend of new and recycled polyester. This helps to reduce waste and lower the environmental impact of production.

Are these suitable for very cold weather?

While they offer comfort and some protection, these trousers are primarily designed for moderate conditions. For very cold weather, layering or specialized insulated clothing would be more appropriate.

How often should I reapply the water repellent treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Typically, reapplication is recommended when you notice a significant reduction in water repellency, usually after several washes or extensive wear.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The ECOSHIELD and DWR finish may need reapplication. Wash the trousers according to care instructions (without fabric softener), then tumble dry on a low heat or apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray as per the product's instructions.

Trousers feel damp after light rain.

Ensure the DWR finish is active. If not, reapply. Note that these trousers offer water repellency, not full waterproofing, and may become saturated in prolonged or heavy rain.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can impact the fabric's properties. Try a gentle re-wash or air dry. Ensure correct washing temperature is used.
