The Craghoppers Stretch Kiwi Pro II Shorts excel in diverse outdoor scenarios, particularly during warmer months. Their stretch performance ensures unrestricted movement, whether you're tackling a steep trail, scrambling over rocks, or simply enjoying a leisurely walk in the park. The splashproof finish is invaluable for unexpected light rain showers or brushing against damp foliage, providing a layer of protection to keep you comfortable. The three zipped pockets are a standout feature, allowing you to securely carry essentials like your phone, wallet, or car keys without worry of them falling out during activity. For instance, while hiking, you can keep your energy gel in one pocket, your phone for navigation in another, and your ID in the third, all safe and easily accessible. Their easy-care polyester fabric means they're quick-drying, making them perfect for multi-day trips where you might need to wash and dry them overnight. These shorts are designed for day-long comfort, adapting to your movements and providing protection from the elements, allowing you to focus on your adventure.
These shorts require no special setup; simply wear them as you would any activewear. They are highly compatible with a range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, trekking, travel, and casual summer wear. To ensure longevity and maintain their performance features, follow these care instructions: 1. Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. 2. Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry. The quick-drying polyester fabric means they will dry efficiently. Avoid high heat as it can damage the fabric and the splashproof finish. 3. Ironing: Iron on low heat if necessary, avoiding direct contact with any printed logos or specialized finishes. 4. Bleaching/Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean, as this can compromise the fabric integrity and splashproof treatment. 5. Maintaining Splashproof: Over time, the splashproof finish (Durable Water Repellent or DWR) may wear off. To revitalize it, wash the shorts as directed and consider using a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-treatment product specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Always check the garment's care label for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.
