Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Women's Kiwi Pro Stretch Trousers in Grey (Size 12) are designed for adult women seeking versatile, comfortable, and protective outdoor wear. Their key benefit lies in multi-season protection against sun, rain, and insects, coupled with excellent freedom of movement. A potential consideration is that while water repellent, they are not fully waterproof. These trousers feature Nosi Defence for insect protection, Solar Shield UPF40+ for sun safety, Ecoshield plant-based water repellency, and are made partly from recycled materials. The Wash&Wear fabric ensures easy care and quick drying, complemented by a stretchy fabric blend and a removable belt for a customized fit.

What does 'Wash&Wear' mean?

What material are these trousers made of?

Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced.
Reapply a suitable water repellent treatment. Ensure trousers are clean before application and follow product instructions.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using the correct washing temperature and detergents. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.
Insect protection seems less effective.
Nosi Defence provides a level of protection, but consider additional insect repellent for areas with high insect activity.
Stitching coming loose.
