FAQs

What does NosiDefence mean?

NosiDefence is a Craghoppers technology that provides a protective barrier against biting insects. It is incorporated into the fabric to help repel mosquitoes, midges, and other biting insects.

How effective is the sun protection?

These trousers offer UPF 40+ sun protection, which means they block at least 97.5% of UVA and UVB rays, providing significant protection for the skin covered by the fabric.

Are these trousers waterproof?

The trousers feature an EcoShield DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes them water-repellent, meaning they will shed light rain and spills. They are not fully waterproof and may soak through in prolonged heavy rain.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

Yes, the fabric is 160gsm and breathable, combined with sun protection, making them suitable for warm weather outdoor activities. However, they are designed for performance, so consider ventilation needs in very high temperatures.

What does 'peached fabric' mean?

Peached fabric has been treated to create a soft, suede-like feel on the surface. This enhances comfort against the skin and can improve the fabric's ability to wick moisture.

How do I maintain the protective properties?

Follow the specific washing instructions carefully, avoiding harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners. Reapply or reactivate protective finishes as needed per the care label.

What is the Better Cotton Initiative?

The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) is a global program that aims to make cotton farming more sustainable. By purchasing these trousers, you are supporting more responsible cotton production.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can stiffen the fabric and reduce the effectiveness of protective treatments. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help restore softness.

Water is not beading off effectively

The EcoShield DWR finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Follow care label instructions for re-waterproofing treatments, or tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing finish.

Insect repellent seems less effective

The NosiDefence treatment has a long-lasting effect but may diminish over time with repeated washing. Ensure you are following the care instructions strictly. For extreme conditions, consider supplemental insect repellent sprays.

Seams feel tight or restrictive

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The tailored fit is designed for a streamlined silhouette, but if significant restriction occurs, the size may be too small.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent multi-purpose protection against insects, sun, and light rain.
  • Durable construction with reinforced areas for extended use.
  • Ample storage with 9 strategically placed pockets.
  • Comfortable fit with adjustable waist features.
  • Made with a significant portion of recycled materials.

Cons

  • Tailored fit may not suit everyone's preference for a looser silhouette.
  • While water-repellent, not fully waterproof.
  • Primarily designed for outdoor/travel use, may be too technical for casual daily wear.
  • Specific care instructions needed for maintaining fabric technologies.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Compatible with various outdoor footwear and upper layers. The neutral Carbon Grey color makes them versatile.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 30°C. Wash with similar colors.
  • Detergents: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's protective properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric treatments.
  • Ironing: Cool iron if necessary. Avoid ironing directly over printed areas or fabric treatments.
  • Maintenance of Protective Finishes: For optimal performance of the DWR and insect repellent finishes, re-waterproofing treatments may be necessary after numerous washes, following product-specific guidelines.
