FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They are designed to resist mud and light debris, but they are not fully waterproof and will soak through in heavy, sustained rain.

Can I wear these for winter hiking?

While durable for all-season use, they are not insulated. For freezing temperatures, we recommend layering with a thermal base layer underneath.

Do these trousers have a specific fit?

The Kiwi Classic range features a reliable, classic fit that prioritizes movement and comfort over a slim or tight silhouette.

How effective is the insect protection?

The weave and fabric treatment act as a significant barrier against biting insects commonly found on trails.

What is the material composition?

These are made from a high-quality peached polyester-cotton blend, which offers the comfort of cotton with the durability of polyester.

Troubleshooting

Stains not coming out during wash

Pre-treat the specific area with a gentle stain remover before placing the item in the machine on a standard cycle.

Fabric feels stiff after air drying

A quick tumble in the dryer on a 'no-heat' or 'air-fluff' setting for 5-10 minutes will help soften the peached cotton texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers maintain their protective properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can compromise the moisture-wicking and protective properties.
  2. Drying: Line dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the fabric finish. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.
  3. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
  4. Compatibility: These trousers pair well with traditional hiking boots or walking shoes. Their classic cut is designed to be worn over standard base layers if extra warmth is needed during cooler months.
