FAQs

What is ECOSHIELD technology?

ECOSHIELD is a water-repellent treatment for fabrics that uses plant-based repellents, offering an environmentally friendlier alternative to traditional chemical treatments.

How effective is the UPF40+ protection?

UPF40+ protection means the fabric blocks over 97.5% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering excellent defense against sun exposure.

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

No, the trousers feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which makes them resistant to light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof like a dedicated rain pant.

Can I wear these in hot weather?

The trousers are made from a blend of polyester and cotton, offering a degree of breathability. They are suitable for warm weather, but for extremely high temperatures or intense activity, lighter, more breathable options might be preferred.

How do I clean mud or dirt stains?

For minor stains, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For general cleaning, machine wash at 30°C. For stubborn stains, pre-treat the area before washing.

What does 'low-maintenance design' mean for these trousers?

It means they are easy to care for. They generally do not require special washing procedures beyond standard machine washing and air or low-heat tumble drying. They are also designed to resist wrinkles and wear.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Craghoppers Brisk Trousers are available in various colors, including Green, in addition to Black. Please check the product listing for all available options.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivation or reapplication. Try tumble drying the trousers on a low heat for 20 minutes after washing. If this doesn't help, consider using a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment suitable for outdoor clothing.

Trousers feel stiff after washing.

Avoid using fabric conditioner, as it can stiffen the fabric and reduce its performance. Wash at a lower temperature (30°C) with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat.

Color fading.

Wash inside out with similar colors to minimize fading. Avoid direct sunlight when drying and follow the recommended washing temperature.

Sizing feels incorrect.

Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you are measuring your waist correctly. Different styles may have slightly different fits, so always check product details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

These trousers are designed for adult males and are compatible with most outdoor footwear and accessories. Their versatile black color makes them easy to pair with various tops and jackets.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors.
  • Detergents: Avoid using fabric conditioners or bleach, as they can affect the water-repellent properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry.
  • Ironing: Iron on a cool setting if necessary.
  • Reapplying Water Repellency: To maintain the durable water repellent (DWR) finish, you may need to reapply a waterproofing treatment periodically, especially after several washes. Follow the instructions on the chosen re-waterproofing product. A simple method is to tumble dry the trousers on a low heat for 20 minutes after washing to reactivate the existing DWR.
