FAQs

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

No, the trousers feature an Ecoshield plant-based water-repellent finish, making them resistant to light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, waterproof overtrousers would be recommended.

What is the UPF rating?

The trousers have a Solar Shield UPF40+ rating, offering excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

How effective is the Nosi Defence against insects?

Nosi Defence is designed to help protect your skin from biting insects by incorporating an insect repellent treatment into the fabric. It provides a good level of protection for general use in moderate insect environments.

Can I remove the belt?

Yes, the belt is removable, allowing you to adjust the fit or use your own preferred belt.

What materials are these trousers made from?

The primary material is 96% polyamide and 4% elastane, providing durability and stretch. They are also made partly from recycled plastic bottles.

How should I wash these trousers?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. They are quick-drying and can be air-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting.

Are these suitable for hot weather?

Yes, the lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying fabric makes them suitable for warm weather, especially when combined with their sun protection features.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency decreases over time.

The Ecoshield finish may diminish after numerous washes. Consider reapplying a fabric-specific water-repellent spray (ensure it is compatible with polyamide/elastane blends) after washing and drying.

Insect protection seems less effective.

Nosi Defence is a fabric treatment and may fade with extensive wear and washing. While it offers residual protection, for areas with severe insect threats, consider using additional insect repellent.

Stiffness after washing.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can cause stiffness. Gentle washing and air drying should help maintain fabric softness. A cool iron can also help relax the fibers.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and easy to care for, suitable for frequent travel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. The adjustable and removable belt allows for a customized fit.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for outdoor activities, they are compatible with various hiking boots and outdoor footwear. Their neutral grey color makes them easy to pair with different tops and jackets.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of your trousers:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's protective properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. Due to the quick-drying nature of the fabric, air drying is often sufficient and environmentally friendly.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a cool setting. Avoid ironing directly over any printed labels or technology descriptions.
