FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They are water-resistant, meaning they handle light moisture well, but they are not fully waterproof and should be paired with overtrousers in heavy rain.

Do I need to re-apply the sun protection?

No, the sun-protective technology is woven into the fibers and will not wash out over time.

Are these suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, they are suitable for year-round use, though in very cold temperatures, you may want to layer them with thermal leggings.

How do I determine my size?

These trousers follow standard UK sizing. Consult the size guide to match your waist and hip measurements to the garment's cut.

Can I bleach these trousers?

No, you should never use bleach, as it will damage the technical fibers and remove the sun-protective finish.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing

Ensure you are not using excessive detergent, which can leave a residue. Rinse the garment again in cold water.

Trouser seems to trap heat

While the fabric is durable, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers underneath to help with temperature regulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Kiwi Pro II Trousers maintain their protective properties and structure, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature, ideally 30 degrees Celsius, using a mild detergent.
  2. Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners as they can clog the synthetic weave and diminish the moisture-wicking and sun-protective capabilities.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a tumble dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent fiber damage.
  4. Ironing: These trousers are largely wrinkle-resistant, but if ironing is necessary, use a cool setting.
  5. Compatibility: They pair perfectly with standard hiking boots and base layer leggings for colder excursions, as the fit is streamlined enough to be worn under overtrousers if needed.
