Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Eco Trousers are designed for adult males seeking versatile, comfortable, and protective outerwear for outdoor activities. Their key benefit is multi-seasonal protection against insects, sun, and light rain, coupled with a sustainable, recycled construction. A minor caveat is that while water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof. These trousers feature stretchy fabric for freedom of movement, NosiDefence insect protection, Solar Shield UPF50+ sun protection, an Ecoshield water-repellent finish, and are made from recycled materials for eco-conscious explorers. They are also easy-care and quick-drying.

FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
No, the trousers feature an Ecoshield plant-based water-repellent finish which helps repel light rain and moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
What is NosiDefence?
NosiDefence is a technology integrated into the fabric that helps protect your skin from insect bites.
How should I wash these trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Avoid fabric softeners.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
Yes, the breathable and stretchy fabric makes them suitable for warm conditions, and the Solar Shield UPF50+ offers sun protection.
What does UPF50+ mean?
UPF50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+, indicating excellent protection against harmful UV radiation from the sun.
Are these trousers suitable for hiking?
Yes, they are designed for walking and hiking, offering comfort, durability, and protection against environmental factors.
What material are they made from?
The primary material is a blend of 96% polyamide and 4% elastane, with some components made from recycled plastic bottles.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretchy fabric should offer freedom of movement; if not, re-check sizing or consider a different model.
Water repellency is reduced.
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for outdoor apparel if performance significantly decreases over time.
Insect protection seems ineffective.
NosiDefence provides a barrier but is not impenetrable. For areas with high insect populations, consider using additional insect repellent on exposed skin.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. Gently lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialised zipper lubricant if needed.
