FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they will shed light rain and moisture, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed for heavy downpours.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
These are primarily technical spring/summer trousers. For winter use, consider the Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Winter Lined collection instead.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
What does the 4-way stretch mean?
It means the fabric has elastic properties that allow it to stretch both horizontally and vertically, providing greater flexibility.
Does the UPF protection wear off?
The UPF protection is a permanent feature of the fabric construction and will remain effective throughout the life of the garment.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the fabric surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Clean the trousers and apply a DWR reactivation spray or tumble dry on low heat to refresh the finish.
Trousers feel tight during movement
Ensure you have selected the correct waist size as per the size chart, as these trousers feature a streamlined technical fit rather than a baggy cut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kiwi Pro II Trousers maintain their technical performance, wash them in cool water with minimal detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating. To reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish over time, you can tumble dry on a low heat setting or use a technical garment re-proofer spray once the trousers lose their ability to bead water. These trousers are designed for a standard adult fit; consult the size guide to ensure the correct waist measurement for your needs.
