Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, they feature Solarshield UPF 50+ protection which is excellent for sunny conditions, though they are slightly thicker than ultra-lightweight summer gear.
What is the purpose of the heel tape?
The heel tape is a reinforced strip at the inner hem that prevents fraying and wear from walking, extending the life of the trouser cuffs.
Can I store a large smartphone in the pockets?
Yes, the trousers include a dedicated mobile phone pocket designed to safely accommodate modern handsets.
Are the pockets secure?
The trousers include several zipped security pockets to ensure valuables stay in place during movement.
What material are the trousers made from?
They are constructed from durable, high-quality polyester designed for outdoor performance.
Do I need to re-waterproof these trousers?
They feature H2OShield technology. Over long periods of heavy use, you may choose to reapply a DWR spray to maintain maximum water shedding.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is weakening over time
Wash the garment to remove dirt and reactivate the finish, or reapply a technical DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic apparel.
Stains appearing on the fabric
The dirt-repellent technology helps prevent staining, but stubborn marks should be treated with a damp cloth immediately; avoid using harsh chemical bleach.
Waist fit feels loose
Utilize the belt loops with a quality trekking belt to customize the tension and ensure the trousers remain secure during high-activity use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Craghoppers Kiwi Classic Trousers, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can impede the efficacy of the dirt-repellent and H2OShield coatings.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct high heat sources to preserve the integrity of the synthetic fibers and protective coatings.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting if required, though the fabric is designed to be largely crease-resistant.
- Compatibility: The integrated belt loops are sized to accommodate standard trekking belts, providing extra support when carrying heavy gear in the pockets.
