Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers are designed for male hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require durable, reliable performance across diverse terrains and weather conditions. These trousers offer the significant benefit of integrated Nosi Defence and Solarshield protection, providing safety from insects and UV rays while maintaining a comfortable fit. A primary caveat to keep in mind is that while they are water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof, so they may require additional waterproof overtrousers in heavy or prolonged downpours.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They are water-repellent, meaning they resist light rain and mud splashes, but they are not fully waterproof and may soak through in heavy rain.

Do I need to wear a belt with these?

The trousers come with an included belt, and the part-elasticated waist helps ensure a comfortable, secure fit.

What does the insect bite-proof technology involve?

The Nosi Defence technology uses a tight fabric weave that is difficult for insects to penetrate, providing a physical barrier against bites.

How many pockets do the trousers have?

They feature 9 practical pockets, including 5 zipped pockets and a dedicated slot for a mobile phone.

Are these sustainable?

Yes, they are eco-friendly, as approximately 28 recycled plastic bottles are used in the manufacturing process of each pair.

Can I use these for winter hiking?

While they are durable for all-year-round use, you may want to layer them with thermal leggings underneath during cold winter conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellent finish is no longer working

Wash the garment to remove dirt and then apply a technical DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray, followed by low heat activation.

Zipper feels stiff or stuck

Clean any trapped mud or sand from the zipper teeth using a soft brush, then ensure the slider is aligned correctly.

General fit feels too loose

Utilize the provided belt to tighten the waist or consider wearing a thicker base layer if the environment allows.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Kiwi Classic Trousers maintain their protective properties and longevity, follow these care guidelines:

Cleaning: Machine wash at a cool setting with similar colors. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the Smartdry water-repellent finish.
Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
Maintenance: Periodically check the belt buckle and zippers to ensure no trail grit has accumulated. If the water-repellency begins to fade, you may use a technical garment re-proofer to restore the coating.
Compatibility: These trousers feature a standard loop design that fits most trekking belts. They pair effectively with standard hiking boots and mid-weight base layers during colder months.
