The Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Shorts are engineered for dynamic performance in warm weather. Their active stretch fabric means you can comfortably tackle steep ascents, long walks, or bend over a campfire without feeling restricted. The splashproof finish proves invaluable when encountering unexpected drizzles, dew on morning hikes, or splashes from a stream crossing, allowing light moisture to bead off rather than soak in. This feature also makes them practical for light spills, keeping them looking fresh longer.
For summer adventurers, the UPF 50+ sun protection is a critical benefit, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn on your legs during prolonged exposure, whether you're hiking a mountain trail or exploring a sunny city. The three zipped pockets are strategically placed and secure, perfect for stashing a car key, a small wallet, or a mobile phone, giving you peace of mind that your essentials are safe while you're on the move. Their easy-care nature makes them a go-to for multi-day trips where laundry facilities might be limited, as they wash well and dry relatively quickly.
These shorts are ideal for hiking, backpacking, travel, camping, gardening, or simply enjoying a summer day outdoors where comfort, protection, and practicality are paramount. They move with you, protect you from the elements, and keep your necessities close at hand.
Setup: These shorts require no setup. Simply choose your size for a comfortable fit and wear them for your activity.
Compatibility: The versatile design and features of the Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II Shorts make them compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities and casual warm-weather wear. They pair well with hiking boots, trail shoes, sandals, and various outdoor tops.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your shorts, follow these guidelines:
Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid using bleach, as this can damage the fabric's properties.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. The easy-care fabric is designed to dry relatively quickly. Avoid high heat, which can affect the elastane.
Ironing: If necessary, iron on low heat. Do not iron directly over any printed logos or embellishments.
Splashproof Finish: Over time, the splashproof finish may diminish. You can restore it by using a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
