Full details

Offering a blend of insect-repellent technology, UPF40+ sun protection, and a water-repellent finish, these trousers serve as a dependable staple for all-year-round trail use. While they offer exceptional utility and storage with nine dedicated pockets, potential users should note that the relaxed fit may feel looser than performance-oriented slim-cut hiking gear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers truly insect-proof?

They feature Nosi Defence technology, which uses a specific weave and fiber treatment to provide a significant barrier against insect bites throughout the life of the product.

Can I wear these for daily casual use?

Yes, the styling is designed to transition well from the trail to town environments.

How many pockets do the trousers have?

They feature a total of nine pockets, five of which are zipped for added security.

Are the trousers waterproof?

They are showerproof and water-repellent, meaning they shed light rain, but they are not fully waterproof like a dedicated rain shell.

What is the material composition?

These trousers are made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton.

Do they provide protection from the sun?

Yes, they feature SolarShield technology which provides UPF40+ sun protection.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be wearing off

The water-repellent finish can be refreshed by tumble drying on a low heat or applying a spray-on re-proofer after washing.

Difficulty with zipper movement

Ensure no grit or dirt is trapped in the zipper teeth. Clean with a soft brush and water if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive insect protection via Nosi Defence
  • Highly functional storage with nine total pockets
  • Quick-drying, water-repellent fabric for varied weather
  • Integrated UPF40+ sun protection
  • Durable construction with reinforced heel tape

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may be too baggy for those preferring technical slim-fit styles
  • Weight of 465g is moderate rather than ultralight
  • Polyester-cotton blend may not be as breathable as pure synthetic technical fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trousers require no special setup; simply select your standard waist size and ensure the length is appropriate for your boots. Due to the part-elasticated waist, they offer a forgiving fit for those between sizes. To maintain the effectiveness of the Nosi Defence insect repellency and the SmartDry water-repellent coating, follow the care label instructions strictly. Generally, wash with like colors using a mild detergent and avoid excessive use of fabric softeners, which can interfere with the technical coatings. Hang-drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the water-repellent finish and ensure long-term performance.
