Full details

FAQs
What activities are these trousers best suited for?
These trousers are ideal for hiking, trekking, camping, travel, and general outdoor exploration where protection from insects, sun, and light rain is beneficial.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Craghoppers, paying close attention to the waist measurements. The listed size (e.g., UK 28) corresponds to the waist circumference.
Will these trousers keep me completely dry in heavy rain?
The trousers have a durable water-repellent finish that repels light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, waterproof overtrousers would provide more comprehensive protection.
How effective is the Nosi Defence against insects?
Nosi Defence fabric is designed to help create a barrier against biting insects. While it significantly reduces the likelihood of bites, it is most effective when combined with other protective measures in heavily infested areas.
Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?
The UPF 50+ protection is beneficial in the sun, and the fabric is designed for outdoor use. While they offer protection, consider the breathability for very high temperatures.
How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?
The need to re-apply depends on usage and washing frequency. When you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, it's time to consider re-proofing.
What is the difference between this model and other Craghoppers trousers?
The Brisk Pro Trouser features specific technologies like H2OShield, Nosi Defence, and UPF 50+ protection, combined in a 'cargo-lite' design, distinguishing it from more basic or specialized models.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency has decreased
The DWR finish can wear off over time. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product instructions to restore water repellency.
Trousers feel damp after light rain
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. If it has diminished, re-apply a DWR treatment. For heavy downpours, consider pairing with waterproof outerwear.
Insects still seem to be a problem
Nosi Defence offers a barrier, but it is not impenetrable. For heavily infested areas, consider using insect repellent in addition to the trousers.
Fabric appears to be stained
The trousers have a splashproof finish, which helps repel water-based stains. For minor stains, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth. For more persistent stains, follow the washing instructions carefully.
