**Care Instructions (Wash&Wear): **To maintain the performance and longevity of your Craghoppers Stretch Kiwi Pro II Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR finish and fabric breathability.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. The 'Wash&Wear' feature ensures quick drying. Overheating in a dryer can damage the elastane.
Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting. Do not iron directly on any logos or printed areas.
Maintaining DWR: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore or re-enhance the water repellency by tumble drying the shorts on low heat (this can reactivate the existing DWR) or by applying a DWR-restoring spray suitable for technical fabrics (follow product instructions).
