FAQs
What kind of activities are these trousers best suited for?
These trousers are ideal for warm-weather outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, travel, camping, and safaris where protection from insects and the sun is beneficial.
How long does the anti-insect treatment last?
The duration of the anti-insect treatment's effectiveness can vary with washing frequency. Regular washing according to care instructions helps maintain its performance, but effectiveness may gradually decrease over time.
Are these trousers waterproof?
The trousers feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which helps to shed light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and are best suited for protection against light showers rather than heavy downpours.
What is the UPF rating and what does it mean?
The UPF rating is 50+, which means they provide excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, blocking over 98% of UV rays.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
Due to their lightweight construction, these trousers are primarily designed for warm weather. For colder conditions, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended, but they may not provide sufficient insulation on their own.
How should I clean the trousers to maintain their features?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry. A cool iron can be used if necessary. Do not dry clean.
What material are the trousers made from?
They are made from Isoflex active stretch fabric, which consists of 86% polyamide and 14% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Isoflex fabric offers stretch, but proper sizing is crucial for maximum comfort and freedom of movement.
Reduced effectiveness of water repellency.
The DWR finish can be renewed by washing with a specialized re-proofer or by tumble drying on a cool setting after washing. Avoid fabric softeners.
Anti-insect treatment seems less effective.
The effectiveness of the treatment may decrease with frequent washing. Follow care instructions carefully. Consider using an insect repellent spray on exposed skin as a supplementary measure if needed.
