FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight fabric and breathable design make them suitable for hot weather. The UPF 50+ protection is also beneficial in sunny, hot conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart and take accurate waist and hip measurements. Due to variations, it's recommended to measure yourself before ordering.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While they are water-repellent, they are not designed for swimming. They are intended for protection against rain and splashes during outdoor activities.
How long does the insect protection last?
The Nosi Defence treatment is integrated into the fabric and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.
Are the recycled materials durable?
Yes, the blend of recycled nylon polyamide and recycled polyester is chosen for its durability and performance characteristics, comparable to virgin materials.
What should I do if the shorts get stained?
For water-based stains, the H2OShield finish will help repel them. For persistent stains, spot clean gently with mild soap and water, then follow the care instructions for washing.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The H2OShield finish may wear off over time. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing.
Insect protection is less effective.
The Nosi Defence treatment is permanent but can be impacted by heavy soiling. Ensure the garment is clean according to care instructions. Its effectiveness is against specific biting insects; it is not a substitute for insect repellent in high-risk areas.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure no fabric softener was used. A low tumble dry and a cool iron can help restore softness.
