FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for winter use?

These trousers are lightweight and designed for breathability. They are best for spring, summer, and autumn, though they can be layered with thermals in cooler conditions.

Does the fabric provide real sun protection?

Yes, the material features an integrated UPF50+ rating, which blocks out the majority of UV radiation.

How should I clean the H2OShield finish?

Use a gentle wash cycle and avoid strong chemicals or bleaches. Periodically wash to remove dirt and oils that prevent the water-repellent coating from working.

Is the material noisy when walking?

No, the soft polyamide stretch construction is designed to be quiet and comfortable during active movement.

Can I wear these for casual daily use?

Yes, the streamlined, technical aesthetic makes them versatile enough for both rugged outdoor trails and casual everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads off the fabric surface

The DWR finish has worn off. Wash the trousers, then use a technical DWR re-proofer spray or iron on low heat to reactivate the factory finish.

Fabric feels restrictive during movement

Check that the size selected fits correctly. The Kiwi Pro II is a streamlined fit; ensure you are not wearing non-compatible underlayers that bunch up and restrict the stretch capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to 4-way stretch technology
  • Effective UV protection for high-exposure environments
  • Lightweight build makes them comfortable for long-distance hikes
  • Water-repellent finish handles light rain effectively

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme sub-zero temperatures
  • Requires periodic re-treatment of the water-repellent coating
  • Fit is more athletic and slim, which may not suit all body types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of your Craghoppers trousers, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent treatment.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on a low setting may be used occasionally to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  3. Treatment: If water no longer beads off the surface after prolonged use, apply a standard outdoor DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore performance.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the UV-protective fibers.
