FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes them water-resistant to light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While durable, the standard Kiwi Classic Trousers are not lined. They are better suited for year-round use with appropriate base layers in cold temperatures.
How many pockets do they have?
They feature 9 pockets in total, including 5 zipped pockets, a mobile phone pocket, and a dedicated map pocket.
Do they provide protection against bugs?
Yes, they feature Nosi Defence technology, which provides a physical barrier against insect bites.
Is the belt removable?
Yes, the included belt can be removed if you prefer to use your own or wear the trousers without one.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, they are part of the Wash & Wear range and are designed to be easily machine-washed and dried.
Troubleshooting
Water absorption in heavy rain
The DWR finish may wear off after heavy use. Re-apply a fabric-safe DWR spray to restore water repellency.
Waist feels loose during hiking
Utilize the included belt for a more secure fit or ensure the side elastic adjustment is pulled to your preferred tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kiwi Classic Trousers retain their protective qualities, follow these care guidelines. The trousers are part of the 'Wash & Wear' range, meaning they are designed for easy maintenance. Machine wash on a standard cycle with mild detergent; avoid harsh fabric softeners as they can degrade the SmartDry Eco and DWR finishes over time. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the fabric structure, though they are safe for low-heat tumble drying. Always check the internal label for specific washing temperatures. When choosing a size, utilize the part-elasticated waist to achieve a comfortable fit; the included belt is designed to handle adjustment needs during weight fluctuations or layering.
