To ensure the longevity and performance of your Craghoppers Kiwi Pro III Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
Washing: Follow the Wash & Wear guidance. Generally, machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's properties.
Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve the SmartDry Eco finish and fabric elasticity. If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat.
Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding any printed logos or embellishments.
Special Care: To maintain the splashproof properties, you may consider using a technical fabric reproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor gear after multiple washes, if you notice water repellency diminishing.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
