Full details
Designed for active outdoor enthusiasts, the Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Convertible Trousers are an ideal choice for hikers and trekkers who face unpredictable weather conditions. These two-in-one trousers provide the flexibility to transition from full-length pants to shorts via concealed zips, allowing for quick adaptation to rising temperatures without needing to change clothes. While they offer excellent versatility and stretch, users should keep in mind that the zip-off sections require careful alignment during reattachment after extended use.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
These trousers are primarily designed for active three-season use. For extreme winter conditions, you may need an additional thermal base layer underneath.
Can I machine wash these trousers?
Yes, they feature 'Wash&Wear' technology, making them machine washable and quick to dry.
How do I know which leg belongs to which side?
Typically, the zips are color-coded or have specific markers to help you distinguish between the left and right leg sections.
Does the fabric wrinkle easily?
No, the performance polyester is designed to be crease-resistant, making them ideal for travel.
What is the H2OShield DWR finish?
It is a durable water repellent coating applied to the outer fabric to cause water to bead up and roll off rather than soaking into the material.
Troubleshooting
Zip is sticking or hard to move
Check for fabric caught in the zip track and ensure the teeth are free from trail debris like sand or mud.
Water-repellency seems to be fading
The DWR coating can wear off over time. Use a technical DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment to restore the splashproof finish.
Difficulty reattaching the leg sections
Ensure the zippers are properly seated at the start point; verify that the left and right legs are not swapped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To convert your trousers, locate the concealed zips above the knee and unzip each leg entirely. For reattachment, ensure the zips are aligned correctly before turning the slider to avoid jamming. The fabric is treated with a DWR finish, which can be maintained by washing with technical garment detergents rather than standard fabric softeners. We recommend hanging the trousers to air dry, which helps maintain the shape and integrity of the stretch fibers. Always ensure the trousers are fully dry before folding or packing them to prevent any potential mildew or odor build-up.
