FAQs
Are these leggings suitable for very cold weather?
While designed for all-year-round wear, they are best suited for moderate to cool temperatures. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The leggings should feel snug and supportive without restricting circulation. They should allow full range of motion. Refer to the Craghoppers size chart for specific measurements.
Can I wear these for running?
Yes, the ultra-stretchy fabric and moisture-wicking properties make them suitable for running and other high-impact activities.
What does 'H2OShield DWR' mean?
H2OShield DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It means the fabric has a treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting you from light rain.
Are they breathable?
The polyester material offers good breathability, designed to manage moisture during active use, helping to keep you comfortable.
How much sun protection do they offer?
The fabric provides UPF protection, shielding your skin from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Specific UPF rating can usually be found on the product tag.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The compression fit is intended to be snug; consider trying a size up if discomfort persists.
Water repellency is reduced
Wash the leggings according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment to restore water resistance.
Zipped pocket is stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to improve movement.
Material appears pilled after use
This can occur with high-friction activities. Ensure proper washing techniques and avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These leggings require no setup and are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. They are designed for broad compatibility with standard outdoor and casual wear. To maintain their performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C, or on a delicate cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or line dry.
- Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid ironing directly on any printed logos.
- Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a water-repellent treatment (e.g., wash-in or spray-on DWR) to maintain the showerproof qualities, following the product's specific instructions.
