FAQs

How long does the Nosilife insect protection last?

The Nosilife treatment is incorporated into the fabric's fibers and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.

Is the UPF 50+ protection permanent?

Yes, the Solarshield UPF 50+ protection is a property of the fabric itself and does not degrade with washing when standard care procedures are followed.

Can these trousers be worn in hot weather?

Yes, they are designed to be lightweight and feature moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, making them suitable for warm conditions. However, in extreme heat, personal comfort may vary.

What is the difference between Polyamide and Polyester in these trousers?

Polyamide (Nylon) is known for its strength and abrasion resistance, while Polyester offers good durability and resistance to stretching and shrinking. The blend aims to combine the benefits of both for optimal performance.

Are the recycled materials used in these trousers eco-friendly?

Yes, the use of recycled Polyamide and Polyester reduces waste and the demand for virgin materials, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.

How do I adjust the waist and hem?

The waist typically features adjustable tabs or an integrated drawcord, while the hem often has a toggle or drawcord system. Refer to the specific adjustment points on the garment for detailed instructions.

What should I do if I lose a component like a toggle?

Contact Craghoppers customer service for potential replacement parts. For minor issues, some outdoor gear shops may offer repair services or compatible replacement components.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel restrictive

Ensure the adjustable waist and hem are not over-tightened. The stretch fabric should allow for a full range of motion; check if the size is appropriate.

Reduced insect repellency over time

Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can affect the Nosilife treatment. If the treatment is suspected to have degraded significantly, consult the manufacturer's guidelines.

Trousers are not drying as quickly as expected

Ensure the trousers are not overloaded with water after washing. Wring out excess water gently before line drying or tumble drying on a low setting. Thick applications of detergent or fabric conditioner can sometimes impede drying.

Pocket zipper is stiff

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no initial setup beyond putting them on. Ensure the adjustable waist and hem are tightened for a secure and comfortable fit.

Compatibility: The trousers are designed for general outdoor and travel use. They are compatible with most types of outdoor footwear and apparel. The material is suited for a range of activities from light trekking to casual wear.

Care Instructions: To maintain the effectiveness of the Nosilife and Solarshield treatments, follow these washing guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. The quick-drying nature means line drying is often sufficient and environmentally friendly.
  3. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's performance properties.
  4. Treatment Longevity: The insect and sun protection treatments are durable and designed to last the lifetime of the garment when cared for properly.
