FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very hot weather?
The fabric is breathable and offers UPF40+ sun protection, making them comfortable for warm weather. However, for extreme heat, lighter materials might be preferred.
How effective is the NosiDefence against all types of insects?
NosiDefence is designed to help protect against biting insects such as mosquitoes and midges. Effectiveness can vary based on insect species and environmental conditions.
Can the water-repellent finish be reapplied?
Yes, the Ecoshield plant-based water repellent finish can be refreshed by using compatible eco-friendly re-waterproofing treatments after washing.
What does UPF40+ mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF40+ indicates that the fabric allows only 1/40th of the UV radiation to pass through, offering excellent protection from the sun.
How should I clean the trousers to maintain their properties?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, as they can compromise the water-repellent treatment. Tumble dry on low and iron on a cool setting if needed.
What is the main advantage of the recycled materials?
Using recycled materials, such as plastic bottles, reduces waste and lessens the demand for new resources, contributing to a more sustainable product lifecycle.
Is the belt permanently attached?
No, the belt is removable, allowing you to use your own belt or wear the trousers without one.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
After several washes, the Ecoshield plant-based water repellent may diminish. Re-apply a suitable eco-friendly water repellent treatment following product instructions.
Sizing feels incorrect
Consult the Craghoppers size chart and double-check your measurements. Consider ordering a different size if the fit is not as expected.
Stitching appears loose
Inspect the garment for any loose threads. Minor loose threads can often be carefully trimmed. For significant issues, contact customer support.
