FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 'Anti-Insect' treatment?
The anti-insect treatment provides a defense against biting insects, reducing the likelihood of bites and discomfort during outdoor activities.
Are these trousers suitable for very hot and humid weather?
Yes, they are designed for warm-weather adventures due to their lightweight, quick-drying properties, and breathability. The UPF 50+ also helps protect from the sun.
How do I wash and care for these trousers to maintain their properties?
Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Always wash inside out and with similar colours. Avoid dry cleaning.
What does 'Isoflex active stretch fabric' mean for performance?
Isoflex fabric is engineered for movement, providing flexibility and allowing the trousers to stretch with your body, which is beneficial for activities like hiking and climbing.
Can I rely on these trousers for complete waterproofing?
No, these trousers have a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which helps water bead off in light rain. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for heavy downpours.
What is the UPF rating, and why is it important?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection.
How many pockets do these trousers have, and where are they located?
These trousers feature two lower cargo pockets for convenient storage of essentials.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider if the movement requirements of your activity exceed the fabric's stretch capabilities.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing. Note that this finish is designed for light rain, not prolonged heavy downpours.
Insect bites are still occurring.
The anti-insect treatment may have diminished over time with washing. Ensure washing instructions are followed to maximize longevity. For persistent insect issues, consider additional personal insect repellent.
Fabric shows signs of wear after a few uses.
While designed for active performance, the lightweight fabric may be susceptible to abrasion. Avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces and inspect for potential snags or tears.
