Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Convertible Trousers are designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who require maximum versatility and agility in changeable mountain weather. These trousers offer a seamless transition from full-length pants to shorts via concealed zips, providing excellent comfort during long treks; however, hikers who prefer a baggier, loose fit may find the athletic, stretchy design feels more form-fitting than traditional hiking trousers.

FAQs
Are these trousers true to size?
The Kiwi Pro range is designed with an athletic, stretch fit. If you prefer a looser fit for layering, some users choose to size up.
Do I need to remove my shoes to convert to shorts?
No, the concealed zips are designed specifically to allow the lower leg sections to be removed without removing your hiking boots.
What is the primary material composition?
They are made from a blend of recycled polyamide and elastane, providing both durability and essential stretch.
Can these be washed in a machine?
Yes, thanks to the Wash&Wear technology, they are machine washable. Use a cool cycle and avoid softeners.
Are they suitable for winter hiking?
While durable, these are non-lined trousers. They are best for spring, summer, and autumn; for winter, we recommend the Craghoppers Kiwi Winter Lined series.
How effective is the DWR finish?
The H2OShield finish is excellent for light rain and morning dew, but it is not a replacement for fully waterproof hardshell trousers in heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Zip is difficult to engage or slide
Check for trapped fabric or dried mud in the zipper teeth and clean with a soft brush.
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading
The DWR coating may need refreshing; wash the garment and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a DWR-restoring treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trousers, follow the manufacturer's care guidelines for DWR-treated clothing. Wash in cool water with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR and wicking properties. If the water-repellent finish begins to fade, you can re-activate it by tumble drying on a low setting or using an aftermarket DWR spray. When converting to shorts, ensure the zippers are fully cleared of debris to maintain a smooth track. For storage, hang the trousers to help maintain the integrity of the elastic fibers.
