Product Information

Full details

These Craghoppers Expert Kiwi Cargo Trousers are designed for adult males seeking durable, comfortable, and protective outdoor wear. The key benefit is their multi-functional fabric technology offering insect and sun protection, alongside ample storage. A minor caveat is the tailored fit, which may not suit those preferring a looser cut. They are crafted from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, featuring a peached finish for softness, reinforced areas for longevity, and a part-elasticated waistband for comfort. Essential features include nine pockets, DWR finish, EcoShield, NosiDefence, and UPF 40+ sun protection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for hot weather?

The 160 GSM fabric offers breathability, and the UPF 40+ protection is beneficial in sunny conditions. However, for extreme heat, lighter-weight options might be preferred.

How effective is the insect repellent?

The NosiDefence technology is designed to provide effective protection against insects. It is integrated into the fabric for long-lasting performance, though effectiveness may gradually reduce with extensive washing.

Can I wash these trousers with other clothes?

It is recommended to wash them separately or with similar colours at 30°C to protect the fabric's specialised treatments.

What does 'peached' fabric mean?

Peaching is a process that raises the fibres on the surface of the fabric, creating a soft, fuzzy feel similar to that of a peach skin.

How do I reapply the water repellency if it wears off?

The initial DWR finish can be reactivated by washing and tumble drying on a low heat or by ironing on a low setting. For significantly diminished performance, specialized re-proofing sprays are available.

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

No, they feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which provides resistance against light rain and water-based stains, but they are not fully waterproof.

What is the Better Cotton Initiative?

The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) is a global program aimed at making cotton production more sustainable by improving environmental and social practices within the cotton industry.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel too tight

Adjust the part-elasticated waistband. If still uncomfortable, consider an alternative size or fit.

Reduced water repellency after washing

Ensure you have not used fabric conditioner and iron on a low heat after washing to reactivate the DWR finish.

Insect repellent effect seems diminished

The NosiDefence treatment is designed for long-lasting effectiveness but can degrade over time with excessive washing. Follow care instructions precisely to maximize its lifespan.

Pockets feel bulky

Distribute items evenly across the nine pockets to maintain a balanced and comfortable feel.
