Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers are designed for adult men who prioritize durability and functional storage during long-distance hiking and outdoor adventures. Their key benefit lies in the combination of insect bite-proof, water-repellent, and UV-protective fabric technology that maintains comfort in varying weather conditions. While highly versatile, users should note that the polyester-cotton construction is intended for rugged trail utility rather than high-intensity technical alpine climbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash in cold or lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip away the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the fabric treatments.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if you notice water no longer beads off the surface after many washes.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight for long periods to prevent UV degradation of the color and fabric fibers.
