FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature Smartdry technology which is water-repellent and quick-drying, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof (like hardshell rain trousers).
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
They are lightweight and breathable, so they are best suited for spring, summer, and autumn. In winter, you may need a thermal base layer underneath.
What does the UPF 40+ rating mean?
It indicates the fabric blocks 97.5% of harmful UV radiation, providing excellent protection against sun exposure during long days outdoors.
How do I choose the right size?
These trousers follow standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the specific measurements provided for size 10 to ensure a proper fit around the waist and hips.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle.
Do they provide insect protection?
Yes, the fabric is treated with integrated insect protection to help deter mosquitoes and other biting insects.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less water-repellent over time
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating can wear off with heavy use. Use a specialized DWR re-proofer wash or spray to restore performance.
Difficulty with zipper movement
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zipper remains stiff, rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a graphite pencil tip along the teeth to lubricate them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Trousers maintain their protective features and structural integrity, please follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the Smartdry and protective coatings.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The material is inherently quick-drying, so it rarely requires a tumble dryer.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, but keep the iron away from any heat-sensitive trim or logos.
- Storage: Store in a dry place. The trousers are lightweight and pack down small, making them an excellent choice for travel and multi-day backpacking trips where space is at a premium.
