FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which helps shed light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can these be worn in winter?
Yes, they provide good protection for year-round use, though you may need a thermal base layer underneath for very cold conditions.
How should I clean the trousers?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners to protect the water-repellent finish.
Is the fabric quick-drying?
The polyester-cotton blend offers a balance of comfort and durability; while it dries faster than pure cotton, it may take slightly longer than fully synthetic ultra-light trousers.
Do they provide sun protection?
Yes, the fabric is engineered to resist UV rays, providing an extra layer of protection from the sun during outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a suitable DWR re-proofer according to product instructions.
Stains persist after washing
Pre-treat the affected area with a gentle stain remover before the next wash cycle, ensuring it is compatible with polyester-cotton blends.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Kiwi Classic Trousers in top condition, follow standard outdoor clothing care practices. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish and reduce the water-repellent properties of the fabric. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature guidelines. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface after extensive use, you can re-activate the DWR finish by applying a wash-in or spray-on reproofing treatment suitable for synthetic blends. These trousers pair well with both leather hiking boots and trail sneakers.
