Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Brisk Pro Walking Trousers are designed for adult males seeking durable, protective outdoor wear. Their key benefit lies in advanced fabric technology offering water repellency, insect defense, and sun protection. A potential caveat is the specialized nature of these features, which might be unnecessary for casual, indoor use.

FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
No, they feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that repels rain and water-based stains, but they are not fully waterproof like a hardshell.
How long does the NosiDefence protection last?
The NosiDefence treatment is integrated into the fabric and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, though its effectiveness can be best maintained through proper care.
Can I wear these in very hot weather?
The trousers offer UPF 50+ sun protection. While they are designed for outdoor use, breathability may vary. For extremely high temperatures, consider lighter, less protective options if active cooling is a priority.
How do I find the correct waist size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. The product information specifies UK waist sizes (e.g., 36). Measure your natural waist and compare it to the chart.
What is the main difference between these and regular walking trousers?
The Brisk Pro trousers offer specialized features like insect repellency (NosiDefence) and enhanced water repellency (H2OShield) beyond standard walking trousers.
Will the water repellent finish wash off?
The DWR finish can diminish over time with washing and wear. Proper care and occasional re-treatment can help maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
This can happen over time. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray according to the product instructions.
Insects still biting through fabric.
NosiDefence offers a barrier, but effectiveness can vary. Ensure trousers are properly sealed at the ankles and consider additional insect repellent for exposed skin.
Trousers feel stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. A cool iron can sometimes help restore softness.
Heel tape showing signs of wear.
While reinforced, extreme abrasion can still cause wear. Check for loose threads and consider if the terrain is overly harsh for the intended use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trousers require no specific setup. Simply adjust the fit as needed.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the H2OShield finish and NosiDefence properties:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent.
