FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent, meaning they can handle light showers and mist, but they will not keep you dry in heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
While durable, these are standard weight trousers. For winter conditions, you might consider the Kiwi Pro Winter Lined variant for added insulation.
Do these trousers provide sun protection?
Yes, they feature built-in UPF50+ sun protection to block UV rays.
Are they suitable for high-intensity trekking?
Yes, the 4-way stretch and moisture-wicking properties make them highly suitable for strenuous hiking.
How do I maintain the stretch in the fabric?
Avoid using fabric softeners during laundering, as these chemicals can coat the fibers and interfere with the stretch and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric.
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Wash the trousers to remove dirt and apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment.
Fabric feels restrictive or tight during activity.
Ensure you are using the correct size; while the fabric has stretch, it is designed as a streamlined, athletic fit and not a loose-fitting pant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers require no special setup. To ensure maximum longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.
- Avoid Fabric Softeners: Harsh softeners can degrade the water-repellent coating and stretch properties of the synthetic fibers.
- Drying: Hang dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to preserve the integrity of the technical fabrics.
- Re-treating: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, you may apply a spray-on water-repellent treatment to restore the fabric's finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
