FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, they feature built-in sun protection and durable fabric, though they are slightly heavier than ultralight summer-specific gear.
Can I wear these in the rain?
They feature a water-repellent finish that handles light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Do the trousers shrink in the wash?
They are designed to be easy-care, but it is always recommended to wash in cool water and avoid high-heat tumble drying to minimize any risk of shrinkage.
Are they really insect-proof?
The fabric is treated to be insect bite-proof, providing an effective barrier against most common biting insects encountered on the trail.
What is the primary material?
They are constructed from a high-quality, durable polyester-cotton blend that balances comfort with toughness.
How many pockets do they have?
The trousers are constructed with 9 distinct pockets for maximum trail utility.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is fading
Wash the garment and apply a high-quality DWR spray treatment according to the spray manufacturer's instructions.
Stains persist after washing
Use a soft brush and mild soap to spot-treat the area before laundering, ensuring you do not use harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kiwi Classic Trousers maintain their protective features, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct high heat sources to preserve the fabric's integrity.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent performance fades after frequent washing, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior fabric.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent long-term moisture accumulation.
