FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
No, the trousers feature an Ecoshield plant-based water repellent finish, which means they can handle light rain or splashes but are not fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What does NosiDefence protect against?
NosiDefence is a technology designed to help protect your skin from insect bites, such as mosquitoes and ticks.
How should I wash these trousers?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid fabric softeners.
Can I remove the belt?
Yes, the trousers come with a removable belt that can be detached if desired.
What is the UPF rating for sun protection?
The trousers offer UPF50+ sun protection, providing excellent defense against harmful UV rays.
Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?
The polyamide and elastane blend offers breathability, and the quick-drying nature makes them suitable for warmer conditions. However, consider personal comfort levels in extreme heat.
What material are the trousers made from?
The trousers are primarily made from 96% polyamide and 4% elastane, with a portion of the material derived from recycled plastic bottles.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency has decreased.
Wash the trousers according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Consider using a reproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
Fabric feels less stretchy over time.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can degrade elastane fibers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
