FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They are water-repellent, meaning they resist light showers and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof and are not intended for heavy downpours.

Can I wear these for winter hiking?

These trousers are lightweight and intended for temperate climates. For winter conditions, you should look for the winter-lined variants or wear them with a thermal base layer.

What does the 42 size represent?

The size refers to the men's waist measurement in inches (UK sizing standard).

Is the fabric prone to wrinkling?

No, the polyamide stretch construction is highly wrinkle-resistant, making them ideal for packing and travel.

Do these trousers provide enough protection for alpine climbing?

The UPF50+ protection is excellent for high-exposure environments, though the lightweight fabric is better suited for agility than heavy-duty abrasion resistance against rock faces.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers with a specialized DWR-reproofing detergent to restore performance.

Fabric snagging on rocks or brush

While durable, the fabric can be caught on sharp edges. If a thread pulls, do not cut it; use a needle to carefully pull the loop back through to the inside of the garment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent range of motion due to 4-way stretch
  • Effective sun protection for mountain activities
  • Durable and lightweight material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Kiwi Pro II trousers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, synthetic cycle (30°C) with mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Do not tumble dry at high temperatures as this can damage the fabric's technical properties.
  3. Water Repellency: After repeated washes, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may wear off. You can restore this by using a professional wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment.
  4. Ironing: Avoid ironing the fabric directly, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
  5. Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
