FAQs
What is NosiDefence technology?
NosiDefence is a fabric technology developed by Craghoppers that creates a physical barrier to help protect against biting insects like mosquitoes and midges.
How do I clean the sunglasses wipe?
The sunglasses wipe is typically integrated into the pocket lining or a hem. It can be cleaned along with the shorts during a normal machine wash. For best results, gently wipe it clean if it becomes heavily soiled.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the fabric is designed for comfort in active outdoor conditions, which can include warm weather. The quick-drying nature helps manage perspiration.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
You can purchase specific waterproofing sprays for apparel. Follow the instructions on the spray product carefully, usually involving spraying evenly onto the clean, dry fabric and then activating with heat (often via tumble drying on a low setting).
What does 'PFAS compliant' mean regarding the water-repellent finish?
PFAS compliant means that the water-repellent treatment used meets current environmental regulations regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, often indicating the use of more environmentally conscious formulations.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the shorts have a water-repellent finish, they are not designed for swimming. They are intended for hiking, trekking, and general outdoor activities.
What is the return policy if the size doesn't fit?
Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for details on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues. Craghoppers' own website or the retailer where you purchased the shorts will have this information.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may wear off over time. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel to restore the performance. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can affect the DWR.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it's still stiff, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Shorts feel tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Craghoppers size chart. If the size is correct, the stretch fabric should allow for movement; however, very intense activity might feel more comfortable in a dedicated activewear legging.
