Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Convertible Trousers are designed for adult hikers who require versatility and agility in changing weather conditions. Their key benefit is the two-in-one design that allows you to transition from full-length trousers to shorts instantly, making them an excellent choice for lightweight, multi-day trekking. A caveat to keep in mind is that the lightweight fabric is optimized for mobility, which may require additional layering if trekking in extreme cold climates.

FAQs
Can these trousers be worn in heavy rain?
They feature a splashproof H2OShield DWR finish, which is excellent for light rain and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof for torrential downpours.
Do I need to remove my hiking boots to convert the trousers into shorts?
The legs are designed to be removed quickly; however, depending on the width of your footwear, you may need to unzip and remove your boots to facilitate an easier transition.
Are these trousers machine washable?
Yes, they are designed to be 'Wash & Wear,' meaning they can be machine washed. Always check the garment tag for the recommended water temperature.
What material are the trousers made from?
They are constructed from a blend of recycled polyamide and elastane, providing both durability and essential stretch.
Are these trousers suitable for winter trekking?
While they provide great versatility, they are lightweight. For winter trekking, you may need to layer thermals underneath or choose a thicker lined alternative.
Troubleshooting
The zip is sticking when converting the trousers.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track and clear any dirt or debris from the teeth of the zip.
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.
The DWR coating may have worn off. You can re-apply a DWR spray treatment designed for outdoor apparel after washing.
The fit feels tight during high-exertion movement.
Check that the waistband and belt area are adjusted to allow for natural hip movement; ensure the sizing aligns with your natural waist measurement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the H2OShield DWR finish, always follow the care label instructions. Wash the trousers in cool water and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating. The 'Wash & Wear' feature is designed to be low-maintenance; hanging them to drip-dry immediately after the spin cycle is typically sufficient to eliminate the need for ironing. When zipping the lower legs back on, ensure the fabric flap is correctly aligned over the zipper to prevent snagging and to maintain the water-resistant seal.
