Full details

FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they resist light rain and mud splashes, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed.
Do these trousers provide enough stretch for climbing?
While they offer a comfortable fit for general hiking and walking, they are not specifically engineered for high-intensity climbing that requires high-stretch fabric.
How do I ensure the insect protection stays effective?
Wash with standard detergents and avoid harsh bleaches or excessive heat, which can degrade the protective treatments over time.
Are the pockets secure?
The pockets are designed for utility, featuring reliable closures to ensure your essentials stay secure while you move.
What is the best way to clean these trousers?
Machine wash on a cool setting, ideally inside out to protect the outer finish, and hang to dry.
Are these trousers suitable for winter use?
They are suitable for general outdoor use, but for cold, icy conditions, you may want to layer them with base-layer thermals or consider the specific Craghoppers winter-lined variants.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency fading
Apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to the outer fabric after cleaning to restore the water-beading effect.
Fabric stiffness after washing
Ensure you are not using excessive detergent; perform an extra rinse cycle to remove any soap residue trapped in the polyester-cotton fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard utility trousers, setup is straightforward—ensure you choose the correct waist size for a comfortable fit, as the cut is designed for mobility. For care, wash the trousers in cool to lukewarm water to maintain the integrity of the water-repellent and insect-repellent fabric treatments. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the protective finishes. If the water-repellent performance begins to fade after extensive use, you can re-treat them with standard outdoor fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) sprays according to the product instructions. Always air dry when possible to prolong the lifespan of the material.
