FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They are water-repellent, meaning they resist light rain and mud splashes, but they are not fully waterproof like dedicated rain pants.

Can I wear these in very hot weather?

While they offer sun protection, the fabric is durable and intended for all-season use; in extreme heat, some users may find them too heavy.

How do I know which size to pick?

The trousers feature a part-elasticated waist, allowing for some flexibility, but refer to standard UK waist sizing when selecting your pair.

Is the insect protection permanent?

The Nosi Defence technology is integrated into the fabric, providing long-lasting protection that won't wash out immediately.

Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?

Yes, the trousers include a dedicated mobile phone pocket designed specifically for modern device sizes.

Troubleshooting

Water absorption on the surface

The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the trousers and apply a garment-safe water-repellent spray to restore performance.

Waist feels loose during hiking

Utilize the provided belt to tighten the fit, or consider wearing a base layer if the temperature is low enough to warrant it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective insect bite-proof fabric
  • High level of UV protection (UPF 40+)
  • Eco-friendly construction using recycled materials
  • Water and mud-repellent surface

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Kiwi Classic Trousers maintain their protective properties, adhere to these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent coating.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang-dry to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
  3. Re-treatment: Over long-term use, the water-repellent (DWR) finish may need to be refreshed using a specialized spray-on treatment to maintain performance.
  4. Storage: Ensure the trousers are completely dry before storing them in a cupboard to prevent mildew development in the fabric.
