The Craghoppers Women's Stretch Kiwi Pro II Shorts are engineered for dynamic performance in warm weather conditions. Their stretch fabric allows for unrestricted movement, making them ideal for activities like hiking, trekking, or cycling. The durable water repellent (DWR) finish means that unexpected light showers or splashes won't immediately soak through, keeping you comfortable longer. For instance, on a dewy morning hike, moisture beads off, and for casual wear in a summer drizzle, you remain protected. The three zipped pockets are a practical advantage, allowing you to securely carry small essentials like your phone, keys, or a trail map without worrying about them falling out during activity. Their easy-care nature means they can be quickly washed and dried, ready for your next adventure, making them excellent for multi-day trips or travel.
There is no special setup required for your Craghoppers Women's Stretch Kiwi Pro II Shorts; they are ready to wear right out of the package. These shorts are highly compatible with a range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, camping, and general summer adventuring. For care, their easy-care nature means simple maintenance. To preserve the splashproof finish: Wash at 30°C, preferably on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can degrade the DWR coating. Air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Low heat can help to reactivate the DWR properties. If water repellency diminishes significantly over time, consider using a DWR re-treatment spray designed for outdoor apparel.
