These Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Smartdry Walking Shorts are engineered for optimal performance in dynamic outdoor environments, particularly during warmer months. The 7-inch active stretch performance fabric allows for unrestricted movement, whether you're hiking challenging trails, engaging in light trekking, or enjoying a leisurely walk in the park. The splashproof finish ensures that light rain, dewdrops, or accidental splashes bead off, keeping you drier for longer and accelerating drying times. This makes them ideal for unpredictable summer weather or activities near water.
The integrated Nosi Defence technology offers a crucial advantage in areas prone to insects, providing a physical barrier against mosquito bites, enhancing comfort and reducing distractions during your adventures. Coupled with SolarShield fabric technology (UPF40+), these shorts provide significant protection from the sun's harmful UV rays, making them a reliable choice for extended exposure to sunshine.
Practicality is further enhanced by three handy zipped pockets, allowing you to securely carry essentials like your phone, keys, or a small wallet without worry. The integrated sunglasses wipe is a thoughtful addition, providing a quick and easy way to keep your vision clear on the go. Designed for day-long comfort, these shorts support a wide range of summer outdoor activities, from casual walks to more strenuous hikes.
These shorts require no specific setup beyond selecting the correct size for a comfortable fit. They are designed for compatibility with a wide range of outdoor and casual tops, as well as hiking boots, walking shoes, or sandals.
To ensure the longevity and maintain the performance features of your Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Smartdry Walking Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the fabric and its protective treatments.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, line dry. The easy-care, quick-drying nature of the fabric means they will dry relatively fast. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fabric's stretch and splashproof finish.
Ironing: If necessary, iron on a cool setting. Do not iron directly over any logos or specialized fabric sections.
Fabric Softeners: Avoid using fabric softeners. Fabric softeners can leave a residue that clogs the fibers, reducing the effectiveness of the splashproof finish and the fabric's breathability.
Re-treatment: Over time and with repeated washing, the splashproof finish (DWR – Durable Water Repellent) may diminish. You can restore this by using a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product specifically designed for technical outdoor apparel.
