FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for long hikes?
Yes, they are engineered for active use with stretch fabric, moisture-wicking properties, and secure storage.
Does the UPF 50+ protection wear off after washing?
The Solarshield technology is built into the fabric and provides consistent protection, though it is good practice to follow care instructions to maintain overall garment longevity.
Can I use these for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, they are designed as hiking and travel shorts, not technical swimwear.
Are the recycled materials durable?
Yes, the recycled nylon used by Craghoppers is chosen specifically for its durability and resistance to wear in outdoor conditions.
Where is the sunglasses wipe located?
It is typically stitched into an internal pocket or hem; please check the inside of the pocket or the waist band for the designated cleaning fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be wearing off
Reactivate the H2OShield coating by washing the garment and applying a heat source like a low-temperature tumble dry or by following the garment label instructions for re-proofing.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth, then gently clear any debris with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Craghoppers shorts last for many seasons, adhere to standard synthetic garment care practices. Always wash at a low temperature with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the water-repellent and insect-repellent treatments. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can break down the technical properties of the nylon fibers.
When choosing your size, remember that the Kiwi Pro III features a mid-rise waist with a tailored fit. If you prefer to wear a base layer or desire extra room for movement, you may want to measure your waist accurately and compare it against the provided sizing guide. Always air dry the shorts away from direct, high-intensity heat sources to prevent damage to the fabric fibers.
