FAQs
How effective is the NosiDefence against all insects?
NosiDefence is designed to help protect against biting insects. Its effectiveness can vary depending on the insect species and environmental conditions.
How often should I reapply the Ecoshield water repellent?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. It's recommended to reapply when you notice water no longer beads effectively on the fabric. Follow the instructions on the reapplication product.
Are these trousers suitable for very hot weather?
The fabric is breathable and offers sun protection, making them comfortable for warm weather. However, for extreme heat, lighter-weight shorts might be preferred.
Can I wear these for climbing or other strenuous activities?
The stretchy fabric enhances freedom of movement, making them suitable for many active pursuits. However, for highly technical or abrasion-prone activities, specialized gear might be more appropriate.
What is the main benefit of the 'ECO' designation?
The 'ECO' designation signifies the use of recycled materials and an environmentally friendlier Ecoshield water-repellent finish, reducing the product's impact on the planet.
How do I check if I have the right size?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart and measure your waist and inseam. Ensure the trousers allow for comfortable movement without being too loose or too tight.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Reapply a suitable plant-based water repellent treatment following the product's instructions. Regular washing without fabric softener helps maintain the Ecoshield finish.
Stretchy fabric feels too restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fabric is designed for a balance of stretch and fit; if it feels overly tight, consider if a larger size is needed.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
