FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, the trousers feature an Ecoshield plant-based water-repellent finish which provides protection against light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged downpours.
How effective is the insect protection?
The Nosi Defence technology is designed to provide effective protection against common biting insects. It is an integrated feature of the fabric.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The trousers are made from a polyamide and elastane blend with a stretchy fabric construction, offering a degree of breathability. However, for extreme heat, lighter, more breathable options might be preferred.
What is UPF 50+?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful UV radiation, providing excellent sun protection.
How do I reapply the water repellent finish?
You can reapply the water repellent finish using a specific waterproofing spray for outdoor clothing. Always follow the instructions on the spray product for best results.
What materials are used in these trousers?
The primary material composition is 96% polyamide and 4% elastane, with a focus on recycled materials where possible.
How many pockets do the trousers have?
The trousers feature 3 zipped pockets and 2 hand pockets, offering secure storage for your belongings.
Troubleshooting
Water repellent finish seems less effective.
The plant-based Ecoshield finish may require reapplication after multiple washes. Use a compatible waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor apparel and follow the product's instructions.
Insect protection not working.
The Nosi Defence is an integrated treatment. Ensure the garment is not excessively worn or damaged, as this could compromise the treatment's effectiveness. Regular washing according to care instructions helps maintain the treatment.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment and affect the fabric's performance. If stiffness persists, try a cool iron setting.
