FAQs

What does 'peached fabric' mean?

Peached fabric refers to a finishing process where the fabric surface is brushed to create a soft, velvety feel, similar to the skin of a peach. This enhances comfort against the skin.

How effective is the NosiDefence insect repellent?

NosiDefence is an integrated technology designed to provide protection against biting insects. It is effective for the expected lifespan of the garment when cared for properly.

Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?

The 160gsm fabric offers breathability, and the blend includes cotton for comfort. While suitable for many conditions, they might feel warmer than very lightweight synthetic trousers in extreme heat. The UPF 40+ protection is beneficial in sunny conditions.

What is the purpose of the reinforced knees and seat?

These areas are reinforced to withstand increased friction and stress from activities like kneeling, scrambling, or frequent sitting, significantly extending the trousers' lifespan.

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which helps to repel water and prevent light rain or splashes from soaking through. They are not designed as waterproof trousers for heavy downpours.

What does 'Better Cotton Initiative' mean?

The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) is a global program that aims to make cotton production more sustainable. Purchasing products with this label supports more environmentally and socially responsible cotton farming.

How do I best maintain the UPF 40+ sun protection?

The UPF rating is inherent to the fabric and does not diminish with washing, provided care instructions are followed. Avoid excessive bleaching or high heat drying which could damage the fabric structure.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

This can happen over time with wear and washing. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions to restore water repellency. Ensure no fabric softener was used in washing.

Insect repellent properties are less effective.

The NosiDefence treatment is designed for long-lasting effectiveness. Ensure trousers are clean. If performance significantly degrades, contact customer support.

Trousers feel stiff after washing.

This might be due to the specific finish. Ensure you are ironing on a low heat setting as recommended. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive drying.

Fit is too tight or restrictive.

While designed for a tailored fit, ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider the part-elasticated waist and belt for minor adjustments. For a looser fit, explore other models with a relaxed cut.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent multi-functional protection (insect, sun, water-repellent).
  • High number of pockets for storage convenience.
  • Durable construction with reinforced knees and seat.
  • Comfortable fit due to part-elasticated waist.
  • Made with a significant percentage of recycled materials.

Cons

  • Tailored fit might be too restrictive for some users.
  • Plaid pattern may not suit all style preferences.
  • Specific care instructions are required for optimal performance of fabric treatments.
  • May be warmer than lighter-weight options for very hot climates.
  • Reliance on specific fabric technologies means performance depends on their integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trousers require no initial setup; they are ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure you select the correct size based on the provided size guide for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males engaging in a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, camping, gardening, and casual travel. They pair well with sturdy hiking boots and moisture-wicking tops.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the fabric technologies like DWR and EcoShield, and to preserve the fabric's integrity:

  1. Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours.
  2. Do not bleach.
  3. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry.
  4. Iron on a low heat setting.
  5. Do not dry clean.
  6. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR finish and clog the fabric's pores over time.
