FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Nosi Defence fabric?

Nosi Defence fabric is engineered to help create a barrier against biting insects, reducing the likelihood of bites and increasing comfort during outdoor activities.

How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ provides excellent protection, blocking approximately 98% of harmful UV rays. This significantly reduces your skin's exposure to the sun.

Can I wear these trousers in very hot weather?

The cropped length makes them suitable for warm weather. The breathable fabric and moisture-wicking properties also contribute to comfort. However, very high humidity might still feel warm.

How do I clean the sunglasses wipe?

The sunglasses wipe is part of the trousers. To clean it, simply wash the trousers according to the care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners.

What does 'cropped' mean in terms of length?

Cropped typically means the trousers end above the ankle, usually mid-calf or just above the ankle bone. This provides a different style and can be advantageous in warmer conditions or for easier movement.

How often should I reapply DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on use and washing. It's recommended to reapply a DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the fabric, usually after several washes or significant wear.

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

No, they feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which repels light rain and water-based stains. They are not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rain.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. You can restore water repellency by washing the trousers with a technical wash or by applying a DWR re-proofer spray according to the product's instructions. Ensure you follow the care label for washing and drying.

Insects are still biting.

While Nosi Defence fabric provides a barrier, it may not be 100% effective against all insects in all conditions. For heavily infested areas, consider additional insect repellent. Ensure all closures are fastened to maximize the fabric's protective barrier.

Trousers feel damp after light rain.

The H2OShield finish is designed for light rain and showers. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may eventually lead to saturation. Ensure the DWR finish is intact and consider wearing waterproof overtrousers for heavy downpours.
