Full details

The Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers are designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a durable, all-season garment that balances comfort with technical protection. These trousers excel by integrating sun-protective and insect-resistant fabrics with a highly practical pocket layout, making them ideal for long-distance trails; however, prospective buyers should note that the fabric blend leans toward a classic feel which may be slightly heavier than ultra-lightweight performance synthetic alternatives.

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?

While these are all-season trousers, they are not fleece-lined. For extreme winter conditions, you may need a base layer underneath.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

These trousers feature a part-elasticated waist which allows for some flexibility, but it is recommended to use your standard waist measurement in inches.

Can I wash these in a machine?

Yes, they are machine washable. We recommend following the garment care label instructions to protect the technical fabric treatments.

What is the purpose of the Solarshield tech?

Solarshield provides UPF 40+ protection, blocking harmful UV radiation and reducing the risk of sunburn through the fabric.

How many pockets do they have?

They feature 9 pockets in total, including 5 zipped security pockets and a specific mobile phone pocket.

Are these trousers truly eco-friendly?

Yes, each pair incorporates materials recycled from approximately 28 plastic bottles, supporting a more sustainable production cycle.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be fading

Wash the trousers to remove dirt and then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the coating, or apply a DWR wash-in treatment.

Zippers feel stuck or gritty

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove accumulated mud or debris and ensure the surrounding fabric isn't snagged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Kiwi Classic Trousers, begin by adjusting the included belt and utilizing the part-elasticated waistband to find your optimal fit before your first hike. Because these trousers feature specialized water-repellent and sun-protection coatings, care is vital. Wash them in cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the technical coatings from the fabric fibers. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and the water-repellent finish. If you notice the water-repellency beginning to fail after heavy use, you may consider applying a specialized fabric re-proofer to restore the factory-standard performance.
