FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent finish designed for light showers and mud, but they are not fully waterproof like a hardshell garment.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
The standard Kiwi Classic is best for three-season wear. For colder conditions, consider the 'Kiwi Winter Lined' variant.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Craghoppers trousers are sized based on UK waist measurements. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size for layering.
Is the insect protection permanent?
The insect bite-proof technology is built into the fabric construction and is designed to remain effective through repeated wash cycles.
Are these machine washable?
Yes, they are designed as easy-care trousers. Use a standard cool wash cycle and avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be failing during heavy rain
The finish requires periodic refreshing; re-apply a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Stains from mud are difficult to remove
Pre-treat the affected area with a gentle stain remover before standard machine washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Kiwi Classics requires minimal effort. Ensure you select the correct waist size for a secure fit that allows for base layer movement if temperatures drop. To maintain the water-repellent finish, wash with mild detergents and avoid heavy fabric softeners that can clog the technical weave. If the water-repellent performance begins to diminish over years of heavy use, you can re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior. Always air dry away from direct high-heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric finish.
