FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for very cold weather?
The Kiwi Pro Stretch Trousers are designed for moderate weather conditions. They offer sun, insect, and light rain protection but are not insulated for extreme cold. Layering may be necessary in colder temperatures.
How effective is the Nosi Defence against all insects?
Nosi Defence is designed to help protect against a range of biting insects. While highly effective, effectiveness can vary depending on insect species and environmental conditions.
How do I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the Ecoshield water-repellent finish, avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment after several washes to ensure continued performance.
Can the belt be fully removed?
Yes, the belt is designed to be completely removable, allowing you to use your own belt if preferred or wear the trousers without one.
What is the UPF rating?
The trousers feature Solar Shield with a UPF40+ rating, providing excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, these trousers have a water-repellent finish (Ecoshield), which means they can repel light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may not offer protection in heavy downpours.
What materials are used in these trousers?
The trousers are primarily made from 96% polyamide and 4% elastane, with parts of the fabric derived from recycled plastic bottles.
Troubleshooting
Fit is too loose or too tight
Adjust the removable belt for a more secure fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consult the size chart and consider exchanging for a different size.
Water repellency seems reduced
The Ecoshield finish is designed to last but may diminish with frequent washing. Consider using a specific fabric re-proofer spray suitable for outdoor clothing to restore the water-repellent properties.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and avoiding harsh detergents. Tumble drying on a low heat can help soften the fabric.
