Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro III Casual Shorts are designed for active women who prioritize comfort and versatility during outdoor excursions. Featuring advanced fabric technologies like H2OShield and Solarshield, these shorts provide excellent protection against the elements and UV rays. While they excel in performance, the tailored mid-rise fit means they may feel more structured compared to loose-fitting lounge wear, making them best suited for hiking, travel, and active exploration.

FAQs

Are these shorts true to size?

The Kiwi Pro III shorts are designed with a standard mid-rise fit; however, because they feature stretch material, they generally conform well to standard UK sizing.

Does the insect-repellent coating wash out?

The properties are designed to last for many washes, but the effectiveness may gradually decrease after repeated heavy laundering.

Can I iron these shorts?

It is recommended to avoid high-heat ironing, as this can damage the synthetic fibers and technical coatings.

Are these suitable for swimming?

While they are quick-drying and water-repellent, they are intended for hiking and active use rather than as dedicated swimwear.

What is the UPF rating?

The fabric is rated at UPF 50+, providing excellent protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the surface

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the shorts to remove dirt and apply a technical DWR spray-on product.

Fabric feels stiff or loses elasticity

Check if detergent residue remains in the fibers. Re-rinse the garment and avoid using fabric softeners.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UPF 50+ sun protection
  • Quick-dry and water-repellent performance
  • Four-way stretch for superior comfort
  • Secure storage with zippered pocket
  • Environmentally conscious use of recycled materials

Cons

  • Mid-rise cut may not suit all body shapes
  • Specific maintenance required for technical coatings
  • Limited stretch compared to pure spandex leggings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shorts feature a standard button and zip fly fastening, allowing for easy wear. The belt loops accommodate standard belts if you prefer a customized fit. To ensure the longevity of the technical treatments, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
  2. Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain fabric integrity.
  4. Re-treating: Over time, the H2OShield coating may need refreshing with a specialized spray-on DWR treatment if water no longer beads on the surface.
