FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
While the polyamide fabric is durable and quick-drying, these trousers are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed.
Can I wear these for casual daily use?
Yes, their sleek design and neutral black color make them suitable for casual outdoor activities and travel as well as technical hiking.
How do I care for the zippers?
Keep the zipper tracks clean of mud and grit, and store the trousers in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
What does the 4-way stretch mean for comfort?
It means the fabric stretches both horizontally and vertically, allowing for maximum flexibility without the fabric binding or bunching.
Is the UV protection permanent?
The UV protection is integrated into the fabric construction, though it can diminish slowly over years of heavy washing and sun exposure.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to open
Check for debris or dirt in the zipper teeth and clean with a soft brush; applying a small amount of zipper lubricant can also restore smooth motion.
Leg sections don't align correctly
Ensure that you are matching the corresponding left and right leg sections, as they are often color-coded or marked for easier assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Kiwi Pro II Trousers, wash them in cool water and avoid using heavy fabric softeners, which can degrade the stretch fibers. When zipping the legs back on, ensure the zipper track is free of grit or mud to maintain smooth operation. These are best paired with lightweight hiking boots or trail runners, as the slim-cut design fits cleanly over most footwear types.
