FAQs

How often should I reapply the water repellent treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. It's recommended to reapply when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric effectively, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Will the Nosi Defence treatment wash out?

The Nosi Defence treatment is designed to be durable, but like most fabric treatments, its effectiveness can diminish over many washes. Follow care instructions carefully to maximize its lifespan.

What type of activities are these trousers best suited for?

They are ideal for walking, hiking, travel, and general outdoor activities in moderate to warm weather where protection from light rain, sun, and insects is desired.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

The cropped length makes them less suitable for cold weather on their own. They can be layered with thermal leggings for added warmth in cooler conditions.

How do I clean the sunglasses wipe?

The sunglasses wipe is part of the fabric. Clean it gently by hand with a damp cloth or follow the general washing instructions for the trousers. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

What is the UPF rating?

The trousers offer UPF 50+ sun protection, which means they block over 98% of UV radiation.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The DWR finish may need refreshing. Clean the trousers and apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions.

Insect bites are still occurring.

Ensure all areas of the skin are covered by the Nosi Defence fabric. Effectiveness can vary depending on insect type and density. Re-application of insect repellent may be necessary for heavy infestations.

Trousers feel less breathable.

Ensure the garment is clean. Build-up of dirt or residue can affect breathability. For persistent issues, consider if the weather conditions are too warm for the garment type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, they are suitable for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, travel, and casual wear. The cropped style pairs well with walking boots, trainers, or sandals.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine washable at 30°C. Wash with similar colours.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or dry naturally. Avoid high heat.
  3. Ironing: Cool iron if necessary. Avoid ironing directly on any printed details.
  4. Detergents: Use mild detergents. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water repellency and fabric treatments.
  5. Re-Waterproofing: The H2OShield DWR finish may need to be reapplied over time to maintain its effectiveness. Use a suitable fabric re-waterproofer spray or wash-in product according to its instructions.
