FAQs
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
These trousers are lightweight and intended for general trail use. For cold weather, you may need to layer a thermal base layer underneath.
How do I store the zip-off sections?
The lower sections are compact enough to be folded neatly into a small pocket of a daypack.
Are these trousers true to size?
They follow standard outdoor gear sizing; refer to the Craghoppers size guide for your specific UK dress size.
Will the zip cause chafing?
The zips are designed to be concealed and low-profile, but ensure the zip is fully closed to keep the pull-tab flat against the leg.
Can I use these for casual wear?
Yes, their pared-back, versatile design makes them suitable for travel and casual outdoor activities beyond just hiking.
Troubleshooting
Zip is sticking during conversion
Check for loose threads or fabric caught in the zipper teeth and ensure the trousers are clean of mud or grit.
Water is soaking into the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; wash the garment and apply a DWR reactivation spray or re-proofer.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Seamless transition between trousers and shorts
- Water-resistant finish protects against light precipitation
- Highly durable polyester material
- Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric
Cons
- Zip-off seams may feel noticeable after long hours of hiking
- Sizing can be specific to brand standards
- Not intended for heavy, continuous downpours
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To convert the trousers, locate the concealed zipper just above the knee. Ensure the area is clear of debris before operating the zip to maintain the longevity of the teeth. For long-term maintenance, machine wash the trousers on a gentle cycle. To preserve the H2OShield DWR finish, avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the water-resistant coating. If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface after extensive use, consider applying a garment-safe DWR re-proofer spray to restore its protective qualities.
