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:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature, ideally 30 degrees Celsius, using a mild detergent.
- Avoid Softeners: Do not use fabric softeners as they can clog the synthetic weave and diminish the moisture-wicking and sun-protective capabilities.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a tumble dryer, select the lowest heat setting to prevent fiber damage.
- Ironing: These trousers are largely wrinkle-resistant, but if ironing is necessary, use a cool setting.
- 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.
