FAQs

How do I clean the Craghoppers Womens Kiwi Pro III Crop Walking Trousers?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat to help reactivate the water repellent finish.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.

Are these trousers completely waterproof?

No, the trousers feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish (H2OShield) which repels light rain and water-based stains. They are not designed for prolonged immersion in water or heavy downpours.

How effective is the NosiDefence against all insects?

NosiDefence fabric creates a barrier against biting insects, including mosquitoes and midges. While it significantly reduces insect contact, it is not a substitute for specific insect repellent in heavily infested areas.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

The cropped design is best suited for moderate to warm weather. For colder conditions, you can wear thermal base layers underneath, but they are not primarily designed for significant cold.

What is the benefit of the sunglasses wipe?

The integrated sunglasses wipe allows you to quickly and easily clean your sunglasses or other eyewear, ensuring clear vision without needing to carry a separate cloth.

What material are these trousers made from?

These trousers are made from durable nylon, designed for active outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced after washing.

Tumble dry the trousers on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. If performance is still lacking, consider using a reproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Insect repellent properties are no longer effective.

The NosiDefence treatment is integrated into the fabric. While durable, its effectiveness may diminish over extended wear or with improper care. Ensure proper washing as per the care label. If you are in an area with high insect activity, consider using additional personal insect repellent.

Trousers feel too warm for the conditions.

The cropped design is intended for warmer weather. For cooler conditions, consider layering with thermal base layers underneath or opt for a full-length trouser style.

Care: To maintain the performance of the H2OShield durable water repellent finish, it is recommended to wash the trousers according to the care label instructions.

Regular cleaning will help preserve the fabric's properties.
