FAQs
What is NosiDefence?
NosiDefence is an integrated fabric technology designed to help protect your skin from insect bites by creating a protective barrier. It is incorporated directly into the garment's fibers.
How effective is the Solar Shield UPF40+ protection?
Solar Shield UPF40+ offers excellent protection against harmful UV radiation, blocking at least 97.5% of UVA and UVB rays, which is crucial for extended sun exposure.
How do I reapply the Ecoshield water repellent finish?
The Ecoshield finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat setting. For longer-term maintenance, specific outdoor gear reproofing sprays can be used after washing, following the product's instructions.
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
These trousers are designed for moderate conditions. While they offer protection from wind and light rain, they are not insulated for extreme cold. Layering may be necessary in colder climates.
Can I wear these trousers for activities other than walking?
Yes, the versatile design and protective features make them suitable for a range of outdoor activities such as camping, gardening, travel, and casual wear where sun, insect, or light rain protection is beneficial.
What does 'Wash&Wear' mean for these trousers?
Wash&Wear indicates that the fabric is designed to be easy to care for, resistant to creasing, and quick-drying, making them convenient for regular use and travel.
How is the sizing for these women's trousers?
The trousers are available in standard UK women's dress sizes. It is recommended to consult a size guide for precise measurements to ensure the best fit, especially considering the stretchy nature of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Tumble dry the trousers on a low heat setting to reactivate the Ecoshield finish. For more significant restoration, consider using a wash-in or spray-on water repellent treatment suitable for outdoor clothing.
Stiffness after washing
Ensure the trousers are not over-dried. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. A cool iron can also help restore fabric softness.
Insect bites still occurring
While NosiDefence offers protection, it is not absolute. Ensure all areas are covered and consider supplementary insect repellent for maximum protection in heavily infested areas.
