FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are water-resistant, not fully waterproof, meaning they will repel light showers and splashes but will eventually soak through in heavy rain.
Do I need to spray these with insect repellent?
The Nosi Defence fabric provides a physical barrier, but in high-risk areas, supplemental repellent is still recommended for exposed skin.
Can I iron these trousers?
They are designed to be 'Wash and Wear' and generally do not require ironing, though a cool iron may be used if necessary.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester-cotton blend is designed for breathability during active use in mild to warm conditions.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
The standard Kiwi Classic is best for year-round temperate use; for cold climates, look for the 'Winter Lined' variant of the Kiwi range.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
The DWR (durable water repellent) finish may need reactivating; tumble dry on a low heat setting to help refresh the coating.
Stains are difficult to remove
Pre-treat the affected area with a mild laundry detergent before machine washing; avoid using bleach which will damage the protective coatings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers maintain their protective properties, wash them with similar colors in a standard machine cycle. Because they are designed for 'Wash and Wear' performance, avoid heavy fabric softeners that can build up on the fabric and compromise the water-repellent finish. Always check the internal care label for specific temperature guidelines. When sizing, these trousers use standard waist measurements; it is recommended to wear your preferred hiking base layer or socks when measuring to ensure the fit is accurate for your intended use-case.
