FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent finish (SmartDry), which helps shed light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
Yes, their durable construction makes them great for year-round use, though you may want to layer them over thermals in freezing temperatures.
What is the primary material composition?
The main fabric is composed of 96% polyamide and 4% elastane for a balance of durability and stretch.
Does the anti-insect treatment wash off?
The treatment is designed to remain effective through many washes, though its efficacy can slowly reduce over a long product lifespan.
Are these trousers suitable for climbing?
Yes, the inclusion of elastane and the ergonomic design provide the mobility required for scrambling and technical hiking.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is fading after several washes.
Wash the garment with a technical outdoor cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
Zipper is sticking or not sliding smoothly.
Clean any debris or grit out of the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Trousers maintain their functionality, proper maintenance is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid harsh fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the elastane fibers. If machine drying, use the lowest heat setting.
- Re-treating: Over time, the water-repellency may diminish; consider using a recommended re-proofer to restore the SmartDry effect.
- Compatibility: These trousers pair well with high-cut hiking boots or trail shoes. They are lightweight enough to be layered with thermal leggings underneath during colder months.
