Full details

The Craghoppers Alex II Leggings are designed for active women who require durable, weather-resistant apparel for hiking and outdoor exploration. Part of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award collection, these leggings offer a blend of comfort and technical protection, featuring water-repellent technology and sun protection.

FAQs

Are these leggings suitable for winter hiking?

They are lightweight and breathable, making them best for mild to warm weather. For winter, you may want to layer them under shell trousers.

Do these leggings have pockets?

The Alex II design prioritizes a streamlined fit for mobility; please check the specific tag for hidden secure pockets if available on your model.

What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?

It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent protection against sun damage.

Can I use these for swimming?

While they are quick-drying and water-repellent, they are not intended as swimwear and are optimized for hiking and outdoor activity.

How do I ensure I pick the right UK size?

Measure your waist and hips and compare them to the standard UK size guide to ensure a comfortable fit for active movement.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the surface of the fabric

The H2OShield water repellency may have worn off; apply a garment-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating.

Leggings feel too tight or loose in specific areas

Check your sizing against the specific UK dress size chart provided by Craghoppers, as performance gear is designed for a tighter fit than standard loungewear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture management and quick-drying properties
  • Built-in UV protection for high-altitude or sunny hikes
  • Water-repellent finish handles damp conditions effectively
  • Ergonomic fit designed specifically for active movement

Cons

  • Primary focus on technical performance over lifestyle fashion
  • May require reapplication of DWR treatments over time for maximum water resistance
  • Limited to black colorway in standard collections

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As these leggings are pull-on garments, they offer an intuitive, straightforward setup. For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct size to prevent fabric over-stretching, which can compromise the technical coatings.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to preserve the technical fibers.
  2. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the fabric and strip the water-repellent finish.
  3. Air dry whenever possible to extend the life of the elastic components and DWR treatment.
  4. If you notice water no longer 'beading' on the surface, use a technical re-proofing spray designed for synthetic fabrics.
