Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers are designed for dedicated outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who require a reliable, multi-functional garment that stands up to diverse trail conditions. These trousers excel by offering a blend of insect-proof, water-repellent, and sun-protective fabric, making them a versatile choice for year-round walking; however, users should note that the polyester-cotton construction is optimized for durability rather than extreme lightweight breathability in high-heat climates.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
While the standard Kiwi Classic Trousers are excellent for year-round use, Craghoppers also offers winter-lined versions if you require extra warmth in freezing temperatures.
Do the trousers offer enough stretch for climbing?
The Kiwi Classics are designed for walking and trekking. While they are comfortable, they are not specifically constructed as technical climbing trousers with high-stretch elastane.
How many pockets do they have?
These trousers feature 9 pockets, making them highly efficient for storing various hiking essentials.
Can I use these for international travel?
Yes, their durable, easy-care nature and sun-protective properties make them a popular choice for adventure travel and trekking abroad.
Is the fabric quick-drying?
The polyester-cotton blend is designed to be easy-care and dries more efficiently than pure cotton, though it may take longer than ultra-thin synthetic gym wear.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the trousers to remove dirt and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Stains are difficult to remove
Pre-treat mud stains with a gentle stain remover before washing and ensure you do not let mud dry completely into the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kiwi Classic Trousers maintain their protective properties, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting to prevent damaging the fabric technology.
- Re-treating: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. Use a standard apparel DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
