FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
These trousers are designed for multi-seasonal wear and offer protection from elements like sun and light rain. For very cold weather, layering with thermal base layers is recommended.
How effective is the insect protection?
The NosiDefence technology is designed to help protect your skin from insect bites. It is effective against many common biting insects, but efficacy can vary based on insect type and environmental conditions.
Can I remove the belt if I prefer to use my own?
Yes, the belt is removable, allowing you to use your own belt for a personalized fit.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart for women's trousers and carefully measure your waist and inseam. Comparing these measurements to the product specifications will help you select the best fit.
Are the trousers fully waterproof?
The trousers feature an Ecoshield plant-based water repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or splashes. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What does 'Wash&Wear' mean?
Wash&Wear indicates that the fabric is easy to care for, requires minimal ironing, and dries quickly, making them convenient for travel and frequent use.
What materials are used in these trousers?
The trousers are made from 96% polyamide and 4% elastane, with recycled materials incorporated into their construction.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Ecoshield plant-based finish can wear off over time. Consider reapplying a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor apparel to restore its performance.
Trousers feel less stretchy after washing.
Ensure you are washing according to the care instructions, avoiding fabric conditioners. Natural fibres in the blend may require a few wears to regain full stretch after washing.
Insect protection effectiveness is questioned.
NosiDefence is designed to help deter insects. While effective for many common biting insects, its efficacy can vary. Ensure seams and closures are secure for maximum protection.
