FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter use?
The classic version is designed for general trail use; for extreme cold, consider the Kiwi Winter Lined variants which offer additional thermal insulation.
Do I need to iron these trousers?
No, the 'Wash and Wear' technology is specifically designed to require minimal to no ironing if hung promptly after drying.
Is the insect protection permanent?
The Nosi Defence protection is built into the fabric fibers, maintaining its effectiveness throughout the normal lifespan of the garment.
How do I choose the right size?
These trousers follow standard UK waist sizing. We recommend checking your current measurements against a standard tape measure for the best fit.
Can I use these for climbing?
The double-knee reinforcement makes them durable enough for light scrambling or walking, though specialized climbing trousers may offer more stretch.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be fading
The water-repellent finish can degrade over time. Re-apply a fabric-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after several washes to restore performance.
Stubborn stains on the fabric
Spot treat the area with a gentle stain remover and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes before washing. Avoid harsh bleach or abrasive scrubbing brushes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kiwi Classic Trousers last for many seasons, follow these care guidelines. Always wash in cold or warm water with a mild detergent to preserve the Smart Dry and insect-repellent treatments. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-repellent finish over time. Because the material is designed to be wrinkle-resistant, simply hang the trousers to dry. If minor creasing occurs, a quick light iron on a low setting is sufficient. Regarding compatibility, the trousers pair well with standard hiking boots and base layers, fitting true to waist size while allowing for appropriate layering underneath in colder climates.
