These Craghoppers Stretch Kiwi Pro II Shorts excel in diverse active outdoor scenarios. Their stretch fabric allows for unrestricted movement, making them ideal for hiking trails, scrambling, or even just long walks in the park. The 7” inseam provides a good balance of coverage and ventilation, keeping you cool during warmer days.
The splashproof finish is a significant advantage, providing peace of mind during unexpected light showers, crossing wet terrain, or even spills. Water beads up and rolls off, keeping the fabric from soaking through immediately. This feature, combined with the easy-care material, means they dry quickly if they do get wet, and are simple to wash and re-wear on multi-day trips.
Practicality is enhanced by the three zipped pockets. These are invaluable for securely carrying small essentials like your keys, phone, or a small map without worrying about them falling out during dynamic activities. Whether you're on a summer hike, exploring a new city, or just enjoying a casual day outdoors, the day-long comfort and protection these shorts offer make them a reliable choice for your active wardrobe.
Simply put on the shorts like any other garment. Ensure they fit comfortably around the waist and legs, allowing for a full range of motion. There is no special 'setup' required.
These shorts are highly compatible with various outdoor and casual attire. Pair them with:
Footwear: Hiking boots, trail shoes, walking sandals, or casual trainers.
Tops: Performance t-shirts, quick-drying base layers, casual shirts, or light fleeces depending on weather.
Accessories: Hiking belts, backpacks, and hats.
They are designed for warmer weather conditions but can be layered with waterproof overtrousers for unexpected heavy rain during expeditions (though the shorts themselves are only splashproof).
Thanks to their easy-care finish, these shorts are straightforward to maintain:
Washing: Machine wash cold (around 30°C / 86°F) with similar colors.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric and splashproof coating.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang to air dry. The polyester fabric is quick-drying.
Ironing: If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting. Avoid ironing over any logos or prints.
Softener: Do not use fabric softener, as it can impair the splashproof properties of the fabric over time.
Regular care helps maintain the fabric's integrity and the effectiveness of its splashproof qualities.
