FAQs
How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?
The NosiLife treatment is incorporated into the fabric and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.
Are these trousers suitable for very hot and humid weather?
Yes, the lightweight, stretch, and moisture-wicking fabric, along with the wicking mesh inner waistband, are specifically designed to enhance comfort in hot and humid conditions.
Can I wear these trousers in cooler weather?
While optimized for warmer climates, they can be layered with thermal base layers for use in cooler temperatures, though they are not insulated.
What is the UPF rating of the fabric?
The fabric offers UPF50+ protection, which is excellent and blocks out the vast majority of harmful UV rays.
How should I clean the trousers to maintain their properties?
Machine wash on a cool or warm cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.
Does the insect repellent have any smell?
The NosiLife technology is odorless, meaning it provides protection without imparting any scent to the garment.
Troubleshooting
Insect repellent properties seem to diminish.
NosiLife treatment is permanent and designed to last the lifetime of the garment. If effectiveness seems reduced, ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can sometimes interfere. Follow washing instructions carefully to maintain fabric integrity.
Fabric feels damp or sticky.
This can occur if the moisture-wicking is overwhelmed. Ensure the garment is not too tight, allowing for airflow. Wash with a technical fabric wash to help restore wicking properties if they seem impaired.
Zipped pocket is difficult to open/close.
Check for any fabric obstruction in the zipper track. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and consider a graphite pencil rub on the teeth to lubricate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers require no complex setup. They are designed for direct wear. Compatibility is broad, suitable for general outdoor activities, travel, and casual wear. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the trousers on a cool or warm cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the NosiLife treatment and fabric performance. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. Iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding direct heat on printed areas. Ensure zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
