FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
No, the trousers feature a plant-based water repellent finish (Ecoshield) that helps repel light rain and showers, but they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for heavy downpours.
How do I reapply the water repellent finish?
After washing and drying, you can reapply a suitable eco-friendly water repellent spray. Follow the instructions on the specific spray product you are using.
What does UPF40+ mean?
UPF40+ indicates that the fabric provides a high level of protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 97.5% of UV rays.
Can I wear these in very hot weather?
The fabric is breathable and quick-drying, making them suitable for warm weather. The sun protection is also beneficial in hot, sunny conditions.
How should I care for the NosiDefence technology?
The NosiDefence treatment is integrated into the fabric fibers and should maintain its effectiveness through normal washing. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which could degrade the treatment.
What is the fit like?
The trousers feature a regular fit with a stretchy fabric for enhanced freedom of movement. A removable belt allows for waist adjustment.
Are these trousers suitable for travel?
Yes, their quick-drying, easy-care properties, combined with protection from sun and insects, make them an excellent choice for travelers.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
The plant-based Ecoshield finish may diminish over time. Reapply a suitable eco-friendly water repellent spray according to the product's instructions after washing and drying.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can stiffen the fabric. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.
Insect protection seems less effective
While NosiDefence provides a level of protection, it is not foolproof. For areas with high insect activity, consider using additional insect repellent on exposed skin.
