FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a water-repellent finish, which is ideal for light rain or splashes, but they are not fully waterproof against heavy downpours.

Can I wear these in the winter?

While durable, these are standard weight trousers. For winter use, it is recommended to layer with thermal leggings underneath.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The trousers feature a part-elasticated waist, allowing for flexibility. Refer to the UK waist size guide to match your standard measurements.

Do the trousers come with a belt?

Yes, a matching belt is included with the trousers.

Are they truly insect-proof?

They feature Nosi Defence technology, which significantly reduces the ability of insects to bite through the fabric compared to standard cotton trousers.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellent finish wears off

Re-apply a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after several washes to restore performance.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are not using excessive detergent and skip fabric softeners, which can clog the synthetic weave.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly practical pocket configuration
  • Water-repellent and quick-drying fabric
  • Sustainable design using recycled materials
  • Includes a belt for added value

Cons

  • Not suitable for extreme winter conditions
  • Polyester-cotton blend may feel heavy when fully saturated
  • Limited to specific casual-outdoor styling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trousers maintain their protective properties, wash them in cool water using the WashandWear cycle setting. Avoid the use of heavy fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the Smartdry Eco water-repellent finish. The trousers are designed to be low-maintenance and quick-drying, so air-drying is recommended over high-heat tumble drying to protect the integrity of the synthetic fibers. When choosing your fit, utilize the part-elasticated waist to accommodate base layers if necessary, though the standard sizing is designed for a true-to-fit feel.
