FAQs
Can I wear these in heavy rain?
These trousers are water-repellent, not waterproof. They are perfect for light showers, but you will need waterproof over-trousers for prolonged heavy rain.
Are the shorts length adjustable?
No, the trousers have a fixed zip-off length above the knee.
How do I store the leg sections when removed?
They are lightweight and compact, making them easy to fold and store in the side or lid pockets of your hiking pack.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyamide-elastane blend is designed for breathability, helping to manage sweat during intense physical activity.
Does the size follow standard UK measurements?
Yes, these trousers are designed to standard UK men's waist sizing.
Troubleshooting
Zip is sticking or hard to open
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and clean away any grit or mud that may have collected in the zipper track.
Water is soaking into the fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a DWR re-proofer treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Kiwi Pro II trousers in top condition, always close all zippers before washing to prevent damage to the mechanism or snagging on other items. Machine wash on a cool, synthetic cycle to preserve the integrity of the DWR finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the moisture-wicking and water-repellent performance of the recycled polyamide blend. Air drying is recommended to extend the life of the fabric and the water-repellent treatment. If the DWR coating begins to wear off after heavy use, consider using a wash-in re-proofer to restore the water-beading properties.
