FAQs
What makes the NosiLife fabric special?
NosiLife is Craghoppers' permanent insect-repellent and odour-control fabric technology. It provides a built-in shield against biting insects and helps to minimize odors associated with perspiration.
Are these trousers suitable for activities other than golf?
While designed with golfers in mind, their insect repellent, UV protection, and comfort features make them suitable for other outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or travel, especially in environments where insects are prevalent.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart and measure your waist accurately. The trousers feature an adjustable waist for a more personalized fit, but the base waist size is critical.
Can I wash these trousers with regular laundry?
Yes, they are machine washable. However, it is recommended to use a mild wash cycle and avoid fabric softeners to maintain the fabric's performance characteristics.
How long does the insect repellent feature last?
The NosiLife insect repellent treatment is permanently bonded to the fabric and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment.
What is the primary material composition?
The main fabric is a blend of 55% Recycled Nylon Polyamide, 39% Nylon Polyamide, and 6% Elastane, offering durability, stretch, and performance.
Do these trousers offer significant waterproofing?
These trousers are designed for moisture control to keep you dry from sweat, not for waterproofing against heavy rain. They are water-repellent to a degree but not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight despite correct waist size
Ensure the adjustable waist tabs are loosened. The stretch fabric offers some give, but proper adjustment is key for comfort.
Reduced effectiveness of insect repellent feature
The NosiLife treatment is permanent. If you suspect reduced efficacy, ensure the trousers are clean, as dirt can sometimes interfere with fabric properties. Direct application of strong chemicals like DEET sprays on the fabric should be avoided, though the fabric itself offers protection.
Fabric feels warm during very high temperatures
While designed for moisture control, consider that any trousers will be warmer than shorts in extreme heat. For intense heat, wearing lighter, more ventilated clothing might be preferable.
