FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
The Kiwi Classic Trousers are designed to be mud-resistant and durable, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light damp conditions.
Do these trousers provide sun protection?
Yes, the fabric is treated to offer protection against UV rays, making them a great choice for long hikes in exposed, sunny areas.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for most seasons, but if you are hiking in freezing temperatures, you may require additional thermal base layers or should consider the Kiwi Winter Lined variant.
What is the best way to dry them?
The best method is to hang them to air dry. Avoid tumble drying on high heat as it may affect the technical properties of the fabric treatments.
Do the trousers have a belt?
The product includes belt loops, but a belt is generally not included with the trousers. You can use your own preferred hiking belt.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiffer after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and consider an extra rinse cycle to remove any lingering soap residue that can make fibers feel stiff.
Mud stains are not coming out easily
Pre-treat the affected area with a gentle garment cleaner before placing the trousers into the main wash cycle.
Trousers feel too heavy when wet
Cotton naturally retains moisture; if you encounter heavy rain, ensure you dry the trousers thoroughly in a warm, dry environment as soon as possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity and protective treatments of your Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers, please follow these care instructions. Machine wash the trousers on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent; avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the UV and insect-repellent coatings. After washing, hang the trousers to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct, high-heat sources to prevent fabric shrinkage. Check the size label before purchasing, as the '42' waist size is specifically tailored for a standard adult male fit. Ensure that zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items in the machine.
