Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Convertible Trousers are designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need maximum versatility in unpredictable weather. These trousers allow for a quick transition from full-length pants to shorts via concealed zips, making them an ideal choice for changing conditions on the trail. A key caveat to note is that the zip-off sections require careful alignment during re-attachment, which may take some practice in the field.

FAQs
Can I remove the legs without taking my hiking boots off?
Yes, the leg sections are designed to be wide enough to pass over most standard hiking boots.
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are designed to be durable and quick-drying, but they are not classified as waterproof outerwear.
What is the benefit of the 4-way stretch fabric?
It provides elasticity in all directions, ensuring the trousers move with your body rather than restricting your stride.
How should I wash these trousers?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius, preferably with similar colors, and hang to dry.
Are these suitable for winter hiking?
They are best suited for mild to warm weather; for winter conditions, you may need a base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
Zip is difficult to engage
Ensure the fabric is pulled taut and clear of the zipper teeth, then check for any debris trapped in the slider.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners as they can interfere with the quick-dry coating; re-wash with a mild detergent.
Leg section won't lock into place
Check that the left and right legs are not swapped, as zippers are typically side-specific.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Kiwi Pro II Trousers, always close the zips before putting the garment in the washing machine to prevent snagging. The 'Wash & Wear' feature means you can wash these at low temperatures and hang them to dry, after which they will be ready to wear with minimal to no ironing. When re-attaching the leg sections, ensure the zips are aligned correctly before pulling the slider to prevent track misalignment. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the fabric's UV protection and stretch properties.
