Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Convertible Trousers are designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who need versatility for hiking in unpredictable weather conditions. These two-in-one trousers offer exceptional freedom of movement through their stretch performance fabric, while the H2OShield DWR finish provides essential splash protection. While they excel in versatility, users should note that the zip-off transition requires a momentary pause to stow the lower leg segments properly during active treks.

FAQs
Can I wear these in heavy rain?
These trousers are splashproof, not fully waterproof. They are perfect for light showers, but for heavy, sustained rain, dedicated waterproof over-trousers are recommended.
Are the leg sections interchangeable between sizes?
No, the zip-off sections are specific to the size and model of your trousers. Keep the matching pairs together.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester blend is designed to be breathable, making them suitable for high-exertion activities.
How do I know which leg is left and which is right?
The legs are typically marked internally, or you can identify them by the zipper alignment when you re-attach them.
Can I iron these trousers?
Ironing is generally not recommended as it can damage the specialized synthetic fibers and the DWR coating. If needed, use a cool iron.
What is the primary material?
These trousers are constructed from high-quality, durable polyester with integrated stretch properties.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks when detaching the leg.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track and wipe away any dried mud or grit from the slider.
Water is no longer beading on the surface.
The DWR coating may need refreshing. Wash the garment to remove oils and apply a specialized DWR re-proofer spray.
Stretch material appears slightly misshapen after long use.
Follow the wash instructions and tumble dry on low heat for a short duration to help fibers recover their shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Seamless transition between shorts and trousers
- Effective water-repellent DWR finish
- High-stretch material ensures comfort on steep terrain
- Lightweight and breathable construction
- Easy-to-clean polyester fabric
Cons
- Zip-off mechanism adds slight weight compared to standard hiking pants
- Seam visibility where the lower leg detaches
- Requires manual storage for the detached leg pieces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To convert the trousers, simply unzip the lower leg section, which is located just above the knee. When storing the detached leg sections, fold them neatly to avoid unnecessary wrinkles.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle to preserve the DWR finish.
- Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent performance.
- Air dry the trousers whenever possible to maintain fabric integrity.
- Periodically re-treat the exterior with a technical DWR spray if water stops beading on the surface.
