FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for very hot weather?

The Brisk Pro Trouser offers UPF 50+ sun protection and is made from relatively easy-care fabric. While they are designed for outdoor activities, they might feel warmer than lightweight, breathable fabrics in extremely high temperatures. They are best suited for temperate to warm conditions where insect and sun protection are priorities.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart provided with the product details. It's recommended to measure your waist and compare it to the specified UK waist sizes. Consider the intended use; if you plan to wear a base layer underneath, you might want slightly more room.

Can I wash these trousers in a washing machine?

Yes, the trousers are machine washable. Follow the care instructions: wash at 30°C or 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and do not dry clean.

What does 'Nosi Defence' actually do?

Nosi Defence is a fabric technology that helps create a barrier to protect you from biting insects such as mosquitoes and midges. It is integrated into the fabric's construction.

What is the UPF rating?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.

How often should I reapply the DWR finish?

The DWR finish wears off over time with washing and abrasion. You'll notice water no longer beads up on the surface. Reactivating the finish by tumble drying is a good first step. For more significant wear, consider using a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment after cleaning, following the product's instructions.

Are these trousers waterproof?

These trousers feature a splashproof finish and a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, meaning they can repel light rain and water-based stains. They are not fully waterproof and may not keep you dry in prolonged heavy downpours.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivation. Gently tumble dry the trousers on a low heat setting for 20 minutes to refresh the finish. For more persistent issues, consider applying a re-proofing treatment designed for outdoor clothing.

Insects are still getting through.

While Nosi Defence provides a barrier, it is not impenetrable. Ensure all closures are fastened. If in an area with particularly dense or aggressive insect populations, consider using additional insect repellent spray on exposed skin or as a complementary measure.

Trousers feel damp after light rain.

The trousers have a splashproof finish and are water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, additional waterproof outerwear is recommended. Ensure the DWR finish is intact.

Fabric has developed a stain.

For water-based stains, the splashproof finish should help repel them. Gently wipe the area with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, consult the care instructions for appropriate washing methods. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric's protective properties.
