FAQs

How do I clean the sunglasses wipe?

The sunglasses wipe is integrated into the fabric and can be cleaned along with the trousers during a standard machine wash cycle. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.

Will these trousers keep me dry in heavy rain?

The H2OShield DWR finish offers good resistance to water-based stains and light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof gear may be necessary.

How long does the NosiDefence protection last?

The NosiDefence treatment is durable, but its effectiveness can diminish over many washes. Following the care instructions carefully will help maintain the fabric's properties.

Can I wear these trousers in very hot weather?

Yes, the cropped length and breathable fabric make them suitable for warm weather. However, in extreme heat, consider lighter materials if available.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of harmful UV rays.

Are these trousers suitable for trekking?

Yes, their durable fabric, insect protection, and sun protection make them a good choice for trekking and other outdoor adventures.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced.

Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Ensure you are washing with a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners.

Insect protection seems less effective.

The NosiDefence treatment is most effective when the fabric is clean. Wash according to care instructions. Effectiveness may also vary depending on insect type and density.

Trousers feel restrictive.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. These trousers are designed for a comfortable fit, but individual fit preferences may vary.
