FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for cold weather?
The Brisk Pro Trousers are designed for protection against elements like rain and insects in moderate to warm conditions. They do not offer significant insulation and may not be warm enough for very cold weather without additional layers.
How effective is the insect repellent feature?
The NosiDefence fabric provides a barrier against biting insects. While effective against common biting insects like mosquitos and midges, it is not a substitute for other insect repellent measures in areas with high insect populations or disease risks.
Can I use fabric softener when washing these trousers?
No, fabric softeners should be avoided as they can significantly reduce the effectiveness of the H2OShield water-repellent and NosiDefence insect-repellent finishes.
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays. This is crucial for preventing sunburn and long-term skin damage during prolonged sun exposure.
How often should I re-proof the trousers?
The need for re-proofing depends on usage and washing frequency. If you notice water is no longer beading and rolling off, it's time to re-apply a water-repellent treatment.
What is the 'cargo-lite' design?
The 'cargo-lite' design refers to a streamlined, modern take on cargo trousers. It offers practical pocketing while maintaining a less bulky and more fitted silhouette compared to traditional cargo pants.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced.
Wash the trousers according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in product to restore water repellency.
Insects seem to be getting through the fabric.
Ensure the NosiDefence fabric is not damaged. Check for any tears or significant wear. Wash according to care instructions, as residues can sometimes affect performance.
Trousers feel stiff after washing.
Ensure all detergent has been rinsed out thoroughly. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry, and iron on a cool setting if necessary.
Heel tape is peeling.
Inspect the area for damage. Minor fraying can be managed with careful trimming. Significant peeling may indicate excessive wear and may require professional repair or replacement.
