FAQs
How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?
The NosiLife treatment is designed to be durable and effective for the lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.
Can I wear these trousers in very hot and humid weather?

Are these trousers waterproof?
No, these trousers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from breathable, quick-drying fabric suitable for general outdoor wear, not heavy rain protection.
What is the UPF rating of the fabric?
The fabric offers a UPF50+ rating, providing excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet rays.
How do I wash these trousers to maintain their properties?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
What kind of insects does NosiLife repel?
NosiLife technology is effective against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, midges, and ticks.
Troubleshooting
Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can interfere with the NosiLife treatment. Consider professional re-treatment if available and recommended by the manufacturer.
Trousers feel damp or less breathable
Check that the moisture-wicking waistband is clear of debris and that the fabric itself is clean. Over time, residue from detergents can build up. Try a rinse cycle with a small amount of white vinegar to help remove buildup.
Zipper on security pocket is stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
