Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Convertible Trousers are designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who require maximum versatility during variable weather conditions. These trousers offer a significant advantage by converting into shorts via an integrated zip, making them perfect for long-distance hiking where temperatures fluctuate throughout the day. While the synthetic material is durable and quick-drying, it may not provide the same natural feel as traditional cotton blends.

FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature an H2OShield DWR finish, which makes them splashproof and water-repellent, but they are not fully waterproof.
How do I attach the lower legs back on?
Ensure the zippers are clean, align the corresponding leg ends, and zip them firmly together until the safety tab is secured.
Can I tumble dry these trousers?
While air drying is recommended to preserve the DWR finish, you may tumble dry on a low, cool setting if required.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They are ideal for autumn and spring; for winter, we recommend wearing thermal leggings underneath.
What is the material composition?
These trousers are crafted from a high-quality, durable polyester blend designed for stretch and performance.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Clean the area around the zipper with a soft brush to remove grit and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.
Water no longer beading on fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a specialized DWR re-proofer spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your convertible trousers, keep the zipper mechanisms clean of dirt and debris to prevent jamming. When washing, use a non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can compromise the performance of the H2OShield DWR finish. Periodically re-applying a DWR spray can maintain the splashproof properties after extensive use. The trousers are designed to fit true to the UK size 22, providing a comfortable yet secure fit suitable for layering over lightweight base layers in cooler temperatures.
