Full details

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature H2OShield technology, which provides water-repellent properties suitable for light rain, but they are not classified as fully waterproof.

How many pockets do the trousers have?

The Kiwi Classic Trousers are equipped with nine pockets total, including security, map, and phone-specific compartments.

What does the UPF 50+ rating mean?

This indicates the fabric provides excellent protection against harmful UV rays, blocking 98% of the sun's radiation.

Can I wear a belt with these trousers?

Yes, they include integrated belt loops that accommodate standard-width outdoor or casual belts.

Is the waist adjustable?

The trousers feature a part-elasticated waist that provides a comfortable, flexible fit around the midsection.

Are these trousers suitable for summer hiking?

Yes, thanks to the breathable polyester construction and built-in UPF 50+ protection, they are ideal for warm-weather hiking.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be fading

After washing, use a tumble dryer on a low setting or apply a low-heat iron to help reactivate the DWR finish, or reapply a technical DWR spray.

Dirt and mud are sticking to the fabric

Ensure the trousers are washed according to care instructions to strip away oils that may be masking the dirt-repellent properties of the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive storage with nine distinct pockets
  • High-level UPF 50+ sun protection
  • Durable reinforced construction at key stress points
  • Dirt-repellent fabric finish for easier cleaning
  • Part-elasticated waist provides a flexible fit

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may feel baggy for those preferring a slim profile
  • Polyester fabric lacks the four-way stretch found in technical climbing pants
  • High-rise design might not fit personal preference for low-rise styling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trousers, always check the internal garment label before washing. Generally, these should be machine-washed on a cool setting with similar colors. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the DWR (durable water repellent) properties of the `H2OShield` finish. For drying, hang-drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibers. The trousers feature standard belt loops, making them compatible with most outdoor webbing or leather belts. When storing for the off-season, ensure they are completely clean and dry to maintain the effectiveness of the dirt-repellent coating.
