FAQs

How long does the Nosilife insect repellent treatment last?

The Nosilife treatment is incorporated into the fabric's fibers and is designed to last for the expected lifetime of the garment, typically meaning it should remain effective through numerous washes when cared for properly according to the washing instructions.

Can these trousers be worn in cold weather?

These trousers are primarily designed for warm and temperate climates due to their quick-dry and breathable polyester construction. They offer minimal insulation and are not ideal for cold weather conditions on their own.

What is the UPF rating for sun protection?

The trousers feature Solarshield technology, providing a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 40+, which is considered excellent protection against harmful UV rays.

How do I convert the trousers to shorts?

Simply unzip the lower leg sections at the ankle. The zips are designed to be smooth and easy to operate, allowing for a quick conversion.

Are these trousers suitable for sensitive skin?

The Nosilife treatment is odorless and designed to be safe for the wearer. However, individuals with extremely sensitive skin should always monitor their reaction to any new garment. The fabric itself is 100% recycled polyester.

How many pockets do these trousers have?

The trousers feature a total of 10 pockets, including standard side and back pockets, along with two thigh pockets, some of which have flap closures and secure zip fastenings.

What makes these trousers sustainable?

They are crafted from 100% recycled polyester, diverting plastic waste from landfills and reducing the reliance on virgin materials in production.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced.

The Nosilife treatment is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, but effectiveness can be maximized by following care instructions strictly. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive fabric softener, which can degrade the treatment over time. If concerned, consider using a topical repellent as a supplementary measure.

Trousers feel warm in very high temperatures.

While designed for warm weather, 100% polyester can retain heat. Convert the trousers to shorts using the ankle zips for better ventilation. Ensure you are also staying hydrated, as body temperature regulation is key in extreme heat.

Ankle zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zips are clean and free of debris. Gently work the zip up and down. If persistent, a small application of silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil tip) on the zip teeth can help, but avoid oil-based lubricants that can stain the fabric.

Pockets do not feel secure enough for valuables.

Utilize the designated zip-closure pockets for high-value items like phones or wallets. For extra security, consider using a small carabiner or clip inside the zip pockets for added peace of mind.

  • Tumble dry on low heat.
  • Iron on a cool setting.
