Product Information

Full details

These crop walking trousers are designed for adult women seeking protection and comfort during outdoor activities. The key benefit is their multi-functional fabric which repels water, guards against insects, and offers sun protection. A minor consideration is that they are a cropped style, which may not be ideal for all weather conditions or preferences. Key features include H2OShield DWR finish, Nosi Defence fabric, UPF 50+ sun protection, and a convenient sunglasses wipe.

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

These trousers feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which repels light rain and water-based stains. They are not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged heavy downpours.

How effective is the Nosi Defence against insects?

Nosi Defence fabric creates a barrier against biting insects. While it significantly reduces annoyance from common insects like mosquitoes and midges, effectiveness can vary depending on the insect type and environmental conditions.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

The fabric is lightweight and offers UPF 50+ sun protection, making them suitable for warm, sunny days. The cropped length also aids in ventilation.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

Wash with a mild detergent (no fabric conditioner) and tumble dry on low heat. For best results, re-apply a DWR treatment periodically, especially when water stops beading on the surface.

What is the main benefit of the UPF 50+ rating?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation, providing excellent sun protection for your legs during outdoor activities.

Is there a specific way to use the sunglasses wipe?

The sunglasses wipe is typically located inside one of the pockets. Simply use it to gently clean your sunglasses or eyewear as needed.

What is the difference between these and full-length trousers?

These are crop trousers, meaning they are shorter than full-length trousers, typically ending above the ankle. This provides more ventilation in warmer weather but less coverage.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer repelling effectively.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the trousers and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product instructions. A low tumble dry can sometimes reactivate residual DWR.

Insects are still biting.

While Nosi Defence offers protection, it is not a guarantee against all biting insects. Ensure trousers are worn correctly and consider additional insect repellent for heavily infested areas.

Trousers feel damp after light rain.

Check if the DWR finish needs re-application. If the fabric is saturated, it may take time to dry. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.

Discoloration after washing.

Ensure you are washing with a mild detergent and not exposing the garment to excessive heat or harsh chemicals. Always follow the care label instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against water, insects, and sun.
  • Lightweight and quick-drying fabric for comfort.
  • Practical features like a sunglasses wipe enhance usability.
  • Durable construction suitable for various outdoor activities.
  • Versatile for travel and everyday wear.

Cons

  • Cropped length may not be suitable for all climates or activities.
  • The DWR finish may diminish over time with washing and wear.
  • Insect repellent properties are fabric-based and may not be 100% effective against all biting insects.
  • Fit can vary, suggesting trying on before purchase if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These trousers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, these trousers are compatible with most outdoor footwear and apparel. They are suitable for a wide range of activities including walking, hiking, travel, and casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 30°C.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric conditioners and bleach, as they can impair the DWR and Nosi Defence treatments.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry. For best results in restoring DWR, a low tumble dry after washing is recommended.
  • Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, a re-proofing treatment can be applied periodically following product instructions (typically after several washes or when water no longer beads on the fabric).
