Product Overview
The Craghoppers Expert Kiwi tailored convertible trousers represent a highly versatile solution for professionals who require their clothing to adapt to changing environments. These trousers are engineered to function as a full-length garment while offering the immediate flexibility to be converted into shorts when conditions dictate. Constructed from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, they provide a professional appearance without compromising on technical performance. The inclusion of nine strategically placed pockets ensures that essential tools and personal items are always within reach, making them an indispensable asset for those working in the field.
Key Features
- Convertible Design: The zip-off legs allow for an instant transition from trousers to shorts, providing thermal regulation as temperatures rise throughout the workday.
- Nine-Pocket Configuration: Multiple storage options allow for efficient organisation of equipment, ensuring that small tools and mobile devices are securely stored yet easily accessible.
- EcoShield DWR Finish: A plant-based water repellent coating ensures that light rain and splashes bead off the surface, keeping the wearer dry during unpredictable weather.
- SolarShield and Nosi Defence: Integrated technologies provide essential protection against harmful UV rays and help prevent insect bites, which is critical for outdoor tasks in rural or wooded areas.
- Sustainable Materials: Utilising recycled polyester, BCI cotton, and 100% recycled zip tapes, these trousers support corporate social responsibility goals without sacrificing durability.
Design & Performance
These trousers are crafted from a lightweight fabric that balances comfort with structural integrity. The peached finish on the recycled polyester and cotton blend provides a soft handle against the skin, reducing irritation during long shifts. Despite the lightweight feel, the fabric is densely woven to provide a robust barrier against the elements. The tailored fit ensures a professional silhouette, while the inherent durability of the material means these trousers are built to withstand the rigours of daily active work.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For businesses seeking a cohesive corporate identity, these trousers are well-suited for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is the preferred choice for applying company logos or staff names, offering a sophisticated and durable finish that withstands repeated laundering. Alternatively, print customisation is available for larger, more vibrant branding requirements. All customisation is performed by our specialist in-house team in Telford, ensuring that your branding is applied with the precision and care that our heritage, dating back to 1976, demands.
Use Cases
These trousers are ideally suited for landscaping professionals, surveyors, and field engineers who frequently transition between different environments. The sun and insect protection makes them excellent for forestry and agricultural work, while the clean, tailored aesthetic ensures they remain appropriate for client-facing roles or site visits. They are a practical choice for any professional who requires high-performance outdoor wear that can be modified on the fly.

Practical Advice
These trousers are available in a comprehensive range of waist sizes and three distinct leg lengths: Short (29"), Regular (31"), and Long (33"). We recommend selecting the leg length that best matches your standard measurements to ensure the zip-off transition point sits correctly above the knee. The tailored fit provides a modern look; if you prefer a more relaxed feel for high-intensity physical movement, you may wish to consider the measurements carefully before ordering.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance features of these trousers, it is essential to follow the care instructions. We recommend washing the garment with similar colours to prevent any potential dye transfer and to keep the fabric looking sharp for longer.
Avoid the use of bleach or water softeners during the wash cycle. These chemicals can degrade the technical fibres and compromise the EcoShield DWR finish, reducing the garment's ability to repel water and protect against stains.
The trousers can be tumble dried on a low setting, which can help in maintaining the shape of the fabric. If the water-repellent finish begins to fade, applying heat as per the care instructions can help regenerate the DWR coating. A warm iron may be used if required, but dry cleaning should be avoided entirely to prevent chemical damage to the recycled zip tapes and fabric treatments.
