FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?

These trousers are designed for protection against sun, light rain, and insects. They are not heavily insulated and may not provide sufficient warmth for very cold conditions. Layering with thermal base layers is recommended for colder weather.

How effective is the insect repellent feature?

The Nosi Defence fabric creates a barrier to help deter biting insects. While effective for many common outdoor insects, it is recommended to use additional insect repellent for maximum protection in areas with high insect activity.

Can I wear these for heavy rain?

The trousers have a splashproof finish and a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which are effective against light rain and showers. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, waterproof overtrousers would provide better protection.

How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?

To maintain the water repellency, wash the trousers according to care instructions and tumble dry on a low heat. You can also reapply a DWR treatment after washing for an enhanced effect.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays. This helps to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage.

Are these trousers suitable for hiking in hot weather?

The fabric is designed to be easy-care and offers UV protection, making them suitable for warm weather. While not specifically designed as highly breathable for extreme heat, their lightweight nature contributes to comfort.

What are the care instructions for the fabric?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, tumble dry on low, do not bleach, and use a cool iron. The DWR finish can be refreshed through washing and tumble drying.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

Wash the trousers according to care instructions and tumble dry on a low heat. For a stronger effect, apply a DWR re-waterproofer spray after washing and drying.

Trousers feel damp after light rain

Ensure the H2OShield finish is intact. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may eventually saturate the fabric. For heavy rain, consider additional waterproof gear.

Insect bites are still occurring

While Nosi Defence offers protection, it is not a complete barrier. Ensure all areas are covered and consider using insect repellent spray in conjunction with the trousers for maximum protection.

Fit is not as expected

Try on the trousers to ensure a comfortable fit. Refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer for accurate measurements.
