Product Information
Full details
These Craghoppers Brisk Pro Trousers are designed for adult males seeking durable and protective outdoor wear. The key benefit is their all-weather protection, including water repellency, insect defense, and sun protection, making them ideal for unpredictable expeditions. A minor caveat is that while they offer splashproof protection, they are not fully waterproof for heavy downpours. The trousers feature a 'cargo-lite' design with easy-care, UV-protective fabric and heel tape reinforcement.

FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, the Craghoppers Brisk Pro Trousers feature a splashproof finish and a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which repels light rain and water-based stains. They are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
How effective is the insect repellent feature?
The NosiDefence fabric is designed to create a barrier against biting insects. It significantly reduces the likelihood of insect bites but is not a complete repellent for all species or conditions.
What is the UPF rating and what does it mean?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. This rating indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
Yes, the fabric is designed to be breathable and comfortable for outdoor activities. The UV protection is also beneficial in sunny, hot conditions.
How should I wash and care for these trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours using a non-biological liquid. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Iron on a low setting. Avoid dry cleaning.
What is the difference between these and regular cargo pants?
These are 'cargo-lite' meaning they have a streamlined design. They incorporate technical features like water repellency, insect defense, and sun protection, which are not typically found in standard cargo pants.
What does 'easy-care' mean for these trousers?
Easy-care means the fabric is designed to be low-maintenance. It resists creasing and is simple to wash and dry, making them convenient for travel and regular use.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The DWR finish may need refreshing. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product instructions.
Insects are still getting through.
While NosiDefence offers protection, it is not a complete repellent. Ensure all openings are sealed and consider additional insect repellent if needed.
Trousers feel damp after light rain.
The H2OShield finish is splashproof and repels light rain. For prolonged or heavy rain, additional waterproof layers may be necessary. Ensure the fabric is not saturated.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a non-biological washing liquid and avoid fabric softener, which can affect fabric performance. Iron on a low setting to help soften the fabric.
