Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these leggings fully waterproof?

They feature H2OShield water repellency for light rain, but they are not classified as 100% waterproof for heavy storms.

Do they provide sun protection?

Yes, the fabric includes SolarShield technology, which provides UPF 50+ protection.

How should I wash them?

Wash with similar colors in cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener.

Are they suitable for winter hiking?

They can be used for winter hiking when paired with a thermal base layer underneath.

Do these leggings have pockets?

The Alex II design prioritizes a streamlined, active fit to minimize bulk.

What material are they made of?

They are constructed from durable, lightweight, quick-drying polyester.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be fading

The H2OShield coating can be reactivated by a light tumble dry on low heat or using a specialized DWR re-proofing spray.

Fabric feels tight after washing

Ensure you are using a gentle, cold wash cycle. Excessive heat during washing can occasionally cause synthetic fibers to lose their natural stretch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated UPF 50+ sun protection
  • Water-repellent finish for light rain
  • Quick-drying material ideal for unpredictable weather
  • Tailored fit designed for maximum mobility

Cons

  • Material feel may differ from soft-touch cotton leggings
  • Not intended for prolonged heavy rainfall without a shell
  • Limited to specific fit profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-repellent properties, wash the leggings on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the specialized coatings. When drying, air dry or use a low-heat setting to preserve the elasticized fibers. These leggings are highly compatible with Craghoppers base layers and outer shells; simply match your size according to the Craghoppers standard sizing chart to ensure the refined fit functions as intended.
