FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?

They are suitable for three-season use. For extreme winter conditions, you might consider the lined variant of the Kiwi range.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

The trousers feature a part-elasticated waist, so choose your standard waist size; they are designed to offer a comfortable, flexible fit.

Does the sun protection wear off?

The Solarshield technology is built into the fabric fibers, meaning it provides long-lasting protection that does not wash out as easily as topical sprays.

Are the pockets deep enough for large smartphones?

Yes, the trousers include a dedicated mobile phone pocket designed to fit modern smartphone sizes securely.

Can I iron these trousers?

Yes, but use a cool iron setting to avoid damaging the synthetic components of the fabric blend.

Is the fabric noisy when walking?

The peached polyester-cotton fabric is designed to be soft and quiet, avoiding the 'swishy' noise common in 100% nylon technical gear.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads off the fabric during light rain.

The DWR finish has worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a standard DWR re-proofing spray, then follow the manufacturer's instructions for heat activation.

Waist feels loose during high activity.

Ensure the included belt is tightened appropriately; the part-elasticated waist is designed to flex with you, but the belt provides the structural support for a secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive protection against both sun and insects
  • Highly practical storage with 9 total pockets
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged terrain
  • Eco-friendly design utilizing recycled materials
  • Includes a belt for a customized fit

Cons

  • Polyester-cotton fabric is not as quick-drying as pure synthetic alternatives

  • Requires proper re-treatment of the water-repellent finish over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers arrive ready for use, though the included belt should be threaded through the belt loops to secure your preferred fit. To maintain the performance of the fabric technologies, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool setting with mild detergent to preserve the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid excessive heat, which can degrade the synthetic fibers.
  3. Re-proofing: After heavy use or repeated washing, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the water-shedding performance.
  4. Storage: Ensure the trousers are completely dry before folding them to prevent mold or mildew growth in storage.
