What is the UPF rating?

The UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating is 50, which means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UV rays.

Are these trousers waterproof?

Can I iron these trousers?

No, do not iron these trousers. Follow the care instructions and tumble dry on low heat to avoid damaging the fabric.

What sizes are available?

Where are the pockets located?

How should I store these trousers?

Troubleshooting

Insect Shield effectiveness seems reduced after washing.

Follow the washing instructions carefully, and avoid using harsh detergents that can degrade the insect repellent treatment. Retreat the trousers with an appropriate insect repellent spray if necessary.

Pockets are not draining water quickly.
