FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent finish that sheds light rain, but they are not fully waterproof, so they may soak through in heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for mild winter days when active, but for extreme cold, you may want to look for the 'Winter Lined' variant of the Kiwi Pro series.
How do I choose the right size?
These trousers follow standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the Craghoppers size guide and keep in mind the 4-way stretch fabric offers a closer, more athletic fit.
What is the primary material used?
The trousers are constructed from high-performance polyester with added stretch properties.
Are these suitable for climbing?
Yes, the 4-way stretch fabric is specifically chosen for activities requiring high mobility, such as hiking, scrambling, and light climbing.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems to be failing
Wash the garment and apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor gear.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
While durable, synthetic fibers can snag. Avoid contact with sharp thorns or abrasive rocks when possible; if a snag occurs, trim loose threads carefully with fabric scissors.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of your Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Trousers, wash them in cool water and avoid heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish over time. They are designed as standard hiking trousers and pair well with various base layers if additional warmth is required for cooler days. Always hang to dry to preserve the integrity of the stretch fibers. Ensure you select the correct UK sizing to take advantage of the intended athletic fit.
