FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

These trousers feature a water-repellent finish (H2OShield DWR), which is effective against light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

How effective is the NosiDefence against insects?

NosiDefence is designed to create a barrier against biting insects. While it significantly reduces annoyance, it is not a guarantee against all insect bites, especially in heavily infested areas.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, fabric softeners should be avoided as they can clog the fabric's pores and significantly reduce the effectiveness of the DWR finish and NosiDefence properties.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection for your skin.

How do I re-activate the water repellency?

After washing, a low heat tumble dry or a light iron can help re-activate the DWR finish. For a more thorough refresh, consider using a dedicated DWR re-proofing spray.

Are these trousers suitable for very hot weather?

While they offer sun protection, they are designed with durable fabrics. For extreme heat, lighter, more breathable materials might be preferred, but these offer good all-round performance.

What is the purpose of the heel tape reinforcement?

The heel tape reinforcement adds extra durability to the lower leg area of the trousers, protecting them from abrasion caused by walking boots.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency decreases

Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing. Ensure trousers are clean before application. Follow garment care instructions for best results.

Insect protection seems less effective

Ensure the garment is clean. The NosiDefence treatment may diminish over many washes. For significant reductions, consider using separate insect repellent sprays on exposed skin.

Stains are difficult to remove

Treat stains promptly with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the fabric. For stubborn stains, consult specialized outdoor fabric cleaning guides.

Trousers feel damp after light rain

Check if the DWR finish needs re-application. Ensure no areas of wear have compromised the fabric's protection. Allow trousers to dry thoroughly after use.

Care: To maintain the performance of the H2OShield DWR finish and NosiDefence properties, follow these care instructions:

  2. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as they can damage the technical finishes.
  3. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. For optimal DWR re-activation, an occasional iron on a low setting may be beneficial. Consult the garment's care label for specific instructions.
