FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very hot weather?
The fabric is breathable and quick-drying, making them comfortable for warm weather. However, in extreme heat, lighter, more ventilated options might be preferred.
How durable is the water repellent finish?
The EcoShield finish provides a degree of water repellency for light rain. It is designed to be eco-friendly and may require reapplication after numerous washes to maintain optimal performance.
Can the belt be replaced if lost?
Yes, the belt is removable. If lost, you can replace it with any standard belt that fits the provided loops.
What does UPF50+ mean?
UPF50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, these trousers are water-repellent, not waterproof. They are designed to resist light rain and splashes, but will not keep you dry in prolonged or heavy downpours.
How much recycled material is used?
The trousers are made partly from recycled plastic bottles, contributing to sustainability efforts. The exact percentage can vary but signifies a commitment to using recycled content.
What is the difference between polyamide and elastane in the fabric?
Polyamide provides durability and strength, while elastane (often Lycra or Spandex) provides stretch and recovery, allowing the trousers to move with you.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretchy fabric allows for some flexibility, but proper sizing is key for full freedom of movement.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The EcoShield finish is plant-based and may require reapplication after several washes. Follow the instructions on a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Zippers are stiff.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and a small amount of water. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the zipper. You can also use a graphite pencil tip to lubricate the teeth.
Insects are still getting through.
While NosiDefence offers protection, it is not 100% impenetrable. Ensure all seams and closures are properly fastened. For extremely high insect populations, consider additional repellent.
