FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter use?
The standard Kiwi Pro II is designed for versatility but is best for mild to warm weather. For extreme winter conditions, consider the specialized 'Winter Lined' version of the Kiwi Pro.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry these trousers. High heat in a tumble dryer can degrade the technical properties of the fabric over time.
Do the pockets fit a large smartphone?
Yes, the zipped pockets are designed to accommodate most standard-sized smartphones securely.
What does the 28-inch length mean?
This refers to the inside leg measurement. A 28-inch inseam is classified as a 'Short' length, ideal for those who require a shorter fit.
Does the sun protection wash out?
The SolarShield technology is built into the fabric construction and is designed to provide lasting protection, though it is best to avoid harsh chemical detergents that could compromise the treatment.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after light rain
While the trousers feature SmartDry technology, if they become saturated, ensure you hang them in a well-ventilated area to allow the moisture to evaporate fully.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zipper remains stiff, a light application of a silicone-based zipper lubricant can help restore smooth movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers are ready to wear immediately without any complex setup. To ensure they retain their protective properties, please follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, synthetic cycle (typically 30 degrees Celsius) to preserve the moisture-wicking and insect-repellent treatments.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The fabric is designed to dry quickly without the need for high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the synthetic fibers over time.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, though the material is generally crease-resistant.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the fabric's protective coatings.
