Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Convertible Trousers are designed for female hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need maximum versatility in unpredictable weather. These two-in-one trousers offer the convenience of quick-drying, agile stretch fabric that easily transitions from full-length pants to shorts, making them perfect for long treks; however, the technical polyester material may feel less breathable than natural fibers during high-exertion activities in extreme heat.

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

They feature a water-repellent DWR finish, which is effective against light showers and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed for heavy rain.

Can I wear these for casual daily use?

Yes, their pared-back design makes them suitable for casual wear, travel, and gardening in addition to hiking.

How do I know which leg is for the left and right?

Usually, the zippers are side-specific. Check the inner waistband or the bottom of the pant leg for 'L' or 'R' indicators if present.

Will the zip cause chafing?

The zips are designed with protective flaps to keep them away from the skin, but ensuring a proper fit is essential to prevent irritation.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash on a cool setting, avoid bleach, and hang dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric and DWR finish.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate

Clear any debris or grit from the zipper teeth and ensure the fabric flap is not caught in the slide mechanism.

DWR coating is no longer repelling water

Wash the garment to remove dirt and residue, then apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Lower leg piece won't zip on correctly

Ensure you are matching the correct leg (left or right) to the corresponding upper section by checking the internal labels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design transitions between trousers and shorts
  • Water-repellent DWR finish protects against light precipitation
  • Stretch fabric enhances mobility on uneven terrain
  • Easy to clean and dries rapidly after washing

Cons

  • Synthetic material can feel warm in very humid conditions
  • Zip transition requires stopping to fully change the leg length
  • Fit may vary significantly compared to standard cotton casual wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Conversion: To transition to shorts, locate the concealed zippers above the knee and unzip completely. Store the lower leg sections in a secure pocket.
  2. Cleaning: Wash in cold or lukewarm water with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
  3. Drying: Hang to dry in a ventilated area. The polyester blend is naturally quick-drying, so tumble drying is generally unnecessary and should be avoided to protect the synthetic fibers.
  4. Re-treating: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. You can apply a commercial DWR spray after several washes to restore the splashproof protection.
