FAQs
What is ECOSHIELD technology?
ECOSHIELD is a plant-based water repellent finish applied to the fabric. It helps to repel water, keeping you dry from light rain and splashes.
How much UV protection do these trousers offer?
The SolarShield fabric provides UPF40+ protection, which means it blocks at least 97.5% of UVA and UVB rays, offering significant sun protection for your legs.
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, the trousers feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish and ECOSHIELD technology, which provide resistance to water and light rain. They are not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
What materials are the Brisk Trousers made from?
The trousers are made from a blend of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton.
Can I wear these trousers in warm weather?
While they offer sun protection, the material blend may be best suited for moderate to cooler conditions. For extreme heat, lighter, more breathable options might be preferred.
How should I clean the trousers to maintain their features?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, using mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric conditioners. Tumble dry on low or line dry, and cool iron if necessary. Avoid direct heat.
What does it mean that they are part of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Collection?
This indicates that the trousers meet the quality and performance standards suitable for the outdoor challenges and expeditions associated with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award program.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
This can happen over time. Clean the trousers thoroughly and consider using a re-proofing spray designed for outdoor fabrics. Avoid fabric conditioners, which can hinder water repellency.
Trousers feel stiff after washing.
Ensure you have not used harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Line drying or tumble drying on a low heat should help restore flexibility. Cool iron if needed.
Seams feel uncomfortable.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If discomfort persists, consider wearing a base layer underneath.
