FAQs
What type of activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are ideal for walking, hiking, travel, and general outdoor activities, especially in environments where sun and insect protection are beneficial.
How effective is the insect protection?
The Nosi Defence technology is designed to help protect your skin from insect bites. While effective for many common biting insects, its performance can vary, and in heavily infested areas, supplementary measures may be advisable.
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, they feature an Ecoshield water-repellent finish which helps shed light rain and splashes, but they are not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged wet conditions.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
These trousers are primarily designed for moderate to warm conditions. For cold weather, layering or choosing insulated outdoor wear would be more appropriate.
How do I care for the water-repellent finish?
Avoid using fabric conditioners, as they can impede the water-repellent properties. If the performance decreases over time, you can re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment.
Are these trousers made entirely from recycled materials?
They are made partly from recycled plastic bottles, contributing to sustainability efforts. The exact percentage can be found on the product's specific labelling.
What does UPF40+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF40+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of UVA and UVB rays, providing significant sun protection.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
This can happen over time. Ensure you are not using fabric conditioner during washing. Consider using a specific re-proofing spray designed for outdoor apparel and follow its application instructions.
Trousers feel warm in very hot weather
While breathable, these trousers are designed for protection. For extreme heat, consider lighter-weight options or ensure good ventilation by rolling up the legs if appropriate for your activity.
Insect bites still occur
Nosi Defence offers protection, but its effectiveness can vary. Ensure all zippers and openings are closed, and consider using additional insect repellent on exposed skin as a secondary measure in heavily infested areas.
