FAQs

How effective is the anti-insect treatment?

The Nosilife treatment is designed to provide effective protection against biting insects like mosquitoes and midges for the expected lifetime of the garment, provided it is cared for correctly. It is an integral part of the fabric, not a topical spray.

Is the UPF 50+ protection permanent?

Yes, the Solarshield UPF 50+ protection is inherent to the fabric's construction and will not wash out or wear off with normal use and care, unlike some topical sunscreens.

Can these trousers be worn in very hot weather?

The moisture-wicking properties help with comfort in warm weather. However, they are designed with multiple layers and protective treatments, so they may feel warmer than very lightweight, un-treated trousers. They are best suited for active use where protection is a priority.

What does RFID blocking mean for the pocket?

The RFID blocking pocket is lined with a special material that prevents unauthorized scanning of the Radio Frequency Identification chips embedded in credit cards, passports, and other identification. This adds a layer of security against electronic theft.

Are these trousers waterproof?

No, these trousers are not designed to be waterproof. They are water-repellent to a certain degree, meaning they can resist light rain or splashes, but they are not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, usually available on their website or product page. Measurements like waist, hip, and inseam are key. The adjustable waist and hem offer some flexibility once you have the correct base size.

Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?

Yes, the features such as stretch, moisture control, and protection make them suitable for a range of outdoor activities including camping, travel, gardening, and general outdoor exploration.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent treatment seems less effective over time

Ensure you are following the specific care instructions, particularly avoiding fabric softeners and high heat when washing and drying, as these can degrade the treatment. Re-application of specialized treatments might be necessary after extensive wear.

Trousers feel damp or not wicking moisture effectively

Check that the garment is not excessively soiled and that the fabric is clean. Detergent residue can sometimes hinder moisture-wicking. Ensure you are using the correct washing cycle and detergent as recommended.

Zippers or fasteners are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help improve movement.

Adjustable hem or waistline not holding its position

Ensure the toggles or drawstrings are clean and free of lint. If the mechanism appears damaged, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective insect and sun protection for outdoor enthusiasts.
  • Comfortable and flexible due to stretch fabric and moisture-wicking properties.
  • Environmentally conscious with the use of recycled materials.
  • Ample and secure storage options with multiple specialized pockets.
  • Adjustable fit for enhanced comfort and customization.

Cons

  • The multicolor design might not appeal to everyone's personal style.
  • May be warmer than lighter-weight alternatives for very hot climates.
  • Care instructions require specific washing to maintain fabric treatments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trousers require no initial setup; they are ready to wear upon purchase. They are compatible with most outdoor footwear and apparel. To maintain the integrity of the fabric technologies, such as the anti-insect and anti-odour treatments, specific care is recommended:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 40°C. Use a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid exposing them to direct high heat which can degrade the fabric treatments.
  3. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a cool setting. Do not iron directly over printed areas or the fabric treatments.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the trousers are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
