FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter use?
The standard Kiwi Classic Trousers are designed for year-round versatility, but for freezing conditions, Craghoppers offers a specialized 'Winter Lined' version.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These trousers follow standard UK waist sizing; use a tape measure around your natural waistline to determine your fit.
Does the fabric stretch?
The Kiwi Classic utilizes a classic, structured polyester-cotton weave designed for durability rather than high-stretch movement.
Can I use these for casual wear?
Yes, their classic design makes them suitable for gardening, travel, and general outdoor leisure activities.
Are the pockets secure?
The 9-pocket design includes various closures to help secure your items, though it is always recommended to double-check closures before climbing or scrambling.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish has stopped working
Wash the garment to remove dirt and grime, then apply a DWR spray and heat activate according to the spray manufacturer's instructions.
Pants feel stiff after washing
Ensure all soap residue is rinsed out; excess detergent can cause stiffness in technical polyester blends.
Stains persist after normal washing
Spot treat affected areas with a gentle stain remover before the main wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Kiwi Classic Trousers, follow standard care guidelines for technical outdoor apparel. Wash the trousers in cool to lukewarm water using a mild detergent; avoid harsh fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent treatment. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, it is recommended to tumble dry on a low setting or air dry away from direct heat sources. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface after extended use, re-applying a standard fabric re-proofer can restore the finish. These trousers are designed for a standard fit, making them compatible with most hiking boots and mid-layer base layers.
