Full details

The Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers are designed for dedicated outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who require a reliable, multi-purpose garment that balances durability with comfort. These trousers excel by providing advanced protection against both the sun and insects while remaining lightweight and moisture-repellent, making them a staple for year-round trail use; however, prospective buyers should note that the specific blend of polyester and cotton is best suited for general hiking rather than high-intensity alpine mountaineering.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers truly insect-proof?

The Nosi Defence technology uses specially developed fibers that are mechanically resistant to insect bites, providing a significant barrier against pests like mosquitoes.

Can I wear these in the rain?

They feature a water-repellent finish that sheds light rain and mud. However, they are not waterproof and will eventually soak through in heavy or prolonged downpours.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

These trousers feature a part-elasticated waist, allowing for a flexible fit. Refer to the UK waist size provided to ensure comfort, as the material offers some natural give.

Is the sun protection permanent?

Yes, the Solarshield technology is built into the fabric construction and provides UPF 40+ protection that does not wash out easily.

Are these environmentally friendly?

Yes, each pair is made using approximately 28 recycled plastic bottles, utilizing peached recycled polyester.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be fading

Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting or applying a specialist reproofing spray designed for synthetic fabrics.

Difficulty with belt adjustment

Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the buckle and that no fabric is caught in the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Kiwi Classics starts with ensuring the correct fit using the included belt and the part-elasticated waistband. For maintenance, these trousers are designed to be 'Wash & Wear,' meaning they are relatively low-maintenance. To preserve the technical coatings (DWR and insect-resistant technology), it is recommended to wash in cool water with non-biological detergent and avoid excessive use of fabric softeners, which can degrade the water-repellent properties. Always air dry when possible to protect the integrity of the recycled synthetic fibers.
