Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Convertible Trousers are designed for active adult males who require maximum versatility during outdoor activities in unpredictable climates. Their primary benefit is the ability to seamlessly transition from full-length trousers to shorts via concealed zips, eliminating the need to carry multiple pairs of pants. A key caveat is that the 4-way stretch fabric is optimized for mobility, which may fit differently than traditional rigid cotton hiking gear, so users should verify their waist measurement to ensure the best fit.

FAQs
Can I wear these as shorts while hiking?
Yes, they are specifically designed to be converted into shorts when the temperature rises.
Are these trousers waterproof?
While they are durable and quick-drying, they are not classified as waterproof; they are best for fair to changeable weather conditions.
How do I know the legs are for the correct side?
The zip components are typically marked or specific to each leg; ensure you match them according to the zipper track direction.
What is the best way to clean them?
Machine wash in cool water and hang dry to maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric and UV protective properties.
Are these suitable for climbing?
The 4-way stretch material provides excellent mobility, making them very well-suited for hiking and low-to-mid level climbing activities.
Troubleshooting
Zip is sticking or difficult to pull.
Check for dirt or debris trapped in the zipper teeth and gently clean with a soft brush, then ensure the fabric edge is not caught in the track.
Trousers feel loose after prolonged activity.
The 4-way stretch fabric is designed for flexibility; ensure you are using a belt if needed for a more secure fit during high-intensity movement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile 2-in-1 design saves packing space
- High-mobility fabric allows for unrestricted movement
- Effective UV protection for sunny climates
- Durable enough for varied outdoor terrains
Cons
- Requires proper storage of detached leg sections
- Fit may vary due to the specific elasticity of the material
- Zip transition requires removing footwear to fully clear the leg sections
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To convert the trousers, simply locate the concealed zipper at the mid-thigh level and unzip around the circumference of each leg. When reattaching the legs, ensure the zippers are aligned correctly to prevent snags. Regarding care, these trousers are machine washable; however, it is recommended to wash them in cool water and hang them to dry to preserve the longevity of the stretch material and the protective finish. Avoid high-heat tumble drying as this can damage the elasticity over time. Always ensure the zippers are fully closed before laundering to protect them from impact.
