Full details
These Craghoppers Women's Kiwi Pro Stretch Trousers in Grey, Size 18, are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and protective outdoor wear. Their key benefit lies in versatile protection against sun, rain, and insects, combined with excellent freedom of movement due to stretchy fabric. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may still penetrate.

FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, the Kiwi Pro Eco trousers feature an Ecoshield plant-based water-repellent finish, which helps water bead off. They are not fully waterproof and will not provide protection in prolonged heavy rain.
How effective is the NosiDefence against insects?
NosiDefence technology is designed to help protect your skin from insect bites, making them more comfortable for outdoor use. However, for areas with very high insect populations, supplementary insect repellent may still be advisable.
Can I wear these trousers in hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight and breathable fabric, combined with UPF40+ sun protection, makes them suitable for warm and sunny conditions.
How do I wash and care for these trousers?
They are machine washable at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat or iron on a cool setting. Do not dry clean.
What does 'Wash&Wear' mean for these trousers?
Wash&Wear indicates that the fabric is easy-care and quick-drying, making it convenient for travel and reducing the need for ironing.
Are these trousers made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the trousers are partly constructed from recycled plastic bottles, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
What is the UPF rating of these trousers?
The trousers have a Solar Shield UPF40+ rating, offering excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced after several washes.
Reapply a plant-based or PFC-free water repellent spray suitable for outdoor clothing. Follow the product's instructions for application and drying.
Insect bites are still occurring.
While NosiDefence offers protection, it is not a complete barrier. For areas with high insect activity, consider using additional insect repellent on exposed skin.
Fabric feels slightly damp after light rain.
This is expected as the trousers are water-repellent, not fully waterproof. The quick-drying fabric should help them air dry relatively quickly. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.
Trousers feel restrictive during intense activity.
Ensure the size is correct and the waistband is adjusted appropriately. The stretch fabric is designed for freedom of movement; if restriction persists, consider if the activity level exceeds the intended use.
