Cannot say anymore about how great this product is. I bought the pair I am still wearing today in Christmas 2015. All that has worn out is a patch in the knee which actually tore when a branch poked through the fabric. I only bought them because I am a kiwi lol. I've just bought another pair as my daughter is in the UK at the mo and can bring me a pair home as there is no delivery to New Zealand. I use these for tramping , working , riding my Harley , fishing and when brand new used them for outings in winter as they are totally comfy and very warm.

I had the same trouser before and they are really good and last. lots of room around the legs and a deep waist. However I brought a new pair but the quality isn't the same, not in a big way, but things like the zips seems cheaper, the material feels slightly thinner, not so much stitching on the waist band. So we will see if these last as long. One way to lose customers is to produce lower quality good. Berghaus are already on my don't buy list, as they are lowering the quality of their goods and just living off the name.

Best walking trousers in history

These are to replace an old pair that were over 15 years old and had had a lot of use on the fells, travelling and at home.These trousers are great for walking - light but wind-proof material that is double thickness on the knees and bottom. The design and stitching seem good and are very comfortable. They don't get wet too quickly but once wet, they also dry out quickly.I like wearing them at home and around town as well, as they are well-cut and the numerous pockets are deep enough to mean I can easily carry a wallet, mobile and keys etc in comfort.For all these reasons they are also great for travel, also being lightweight and not bulky, so they take very little room in your luggage.I also like the unobtrusive colour.Would happily recommend these.

Comfortable & Secure

These trousers are perfect for outdoor & holiday. I prefer troysers with the high waist, which enables me to easily raise my leg while going over stiles in the countryside aling footpaths. I had to buy these trousers because of the organised pockets and security zipped pockets, especially while walking and sitting down. Last thing is to loose something while being out and about. Wrlk design trousers and especially the material. The belt loops are perfect for wider belts. Only one thing I would add is to have 2 belt loops close to each other especially the first and last belt loop...like in one the previous Craghopper trousers.

Comfortable and durable

The fit is loose and comfortable and the material is durable. I bought these to replace a pair I bought several years ago. The old pair are still in very good shape--they did not wear out. I replaced them because I lost about 15 pounds (yay!) so they no longer fit. The pants have eight pockets. Five with zippers for security. The only complaint I have is that the front pockets are too shallow to be useful. Stuff falls out when I sit down. Each of these two pockets has a zippered pocket behind it so I always use them instead. This nuisance was not serious enough to penalize the pants a star.

Couldn’t believe my eyes 😳

😳 I couldn’t believe my luck ! I have worn Crag Kiwi’s for the last 🤔 30 years 😀 and as normal I was sent an e-mail saying look what we’ve got! Normally trawling through the Kiwi classics, there’s plenty of them with 5 or 6 colour choices but , never in 44reg, or normally ( for the last 5 years) I’ve got them in Bark 🤷‍♀️ only … it drives the wife mad me wearing my 5 pairs of ‘Bark’ classics. This week 🤩 I couldn’t believe my eyes ALL 6 Colours in 44reg 😎 I’ve ordered 2 pair off the stick end & if they’re still there next week another couple of pairs. Well done Craghopper for listening to my monthly rants!

Craghoppers Mens Kiwi Classic Trousers - Short

This is a review with a difference. During the summer I have acquired an Ileostomy which has meant that I have had to take stock of my wardrobe to accommodate the changes.I have found that the relaxed cut of the Craghoppers Kiwi Classics in a size larger than usual has proved to be the ideal solution. The waistband is then high enough and the fit is loose enough to accommodate the extra volume required. The flexibility of the fabric belt is also a useful feature for someone with an ostomy.

Disappointing quality

I've had Kiwi trousers for many years and wear a couple pairs which must be 10 years old at least and still going strong. I have to say that the overall quality has declined considerably. The style has changed and this new pair have a lower waist, less comfortable for walking. Fashion I guess, but these are walking trousers! The fabric is also much lighter in weight, which is fine for comfort but I guess not for durability. Also the finishing on this new pair is of poor quality - velcro pocket fastener coming apart and needing re-stitching, and several poorly finished seams with loose ends. Disappointing really. Next time I will try a different brand.

OK pants for light to medium rain in Spring or Fall.

My size: 5'10", 185 lbs.Pant size: LargeLegs run a little long as in cover all the back of the heel and top of shoe, unless you hitch the waist up and tighten it around the higher part of your hip bones. Thigh diameter is just about right even though my personal preference would like a looser feeling like when I wear Rothco Large urban camo pants.Tested in proper rain (Brits will know what I mean) but let's say nonstop rainy day for hours with episodes of significant downpour.

To give you an idea how the pants and the jacket compare: The jacket inside was perfectly dry, the pants from the lower thighs down to the shins got completely drenched and water accumulated on the inside after just 10 min walking in the downpour.So you would need to wear Patagonia's TorrentShell (rated 25,000mm) pants on top of these to stay dry in anything but light rain, especially if standing still for 5 mins or more.When not raining, and with Summer temps above 25C, the pants are way too hot. So if it rains in Summer, and it's hot, and of course now very humid, you are gonna prefer wearing shorts and be wet. This means the pants are ok for Spring or Fall in light or medium rain assuming you treated them before with some Nikwax.Only one multi compartment leg pocket system. If you put a fat wallet in there, plus tissues or pens or a nebulizer, the pocket will get tight real fast and it will feel weird when you lift your leg on account of the tightness, so not roomy like military cargo pants.Side pockets are open, with secondary hidden pockets on both sides closed by a zipper. Back pockets are also closed by zippers.Unlike military cargos, the fabric dries faster and doesn't get wet as fast either, and is lighter.

Often copied but yet to be surpassed

I bought my first pairs of “Craggies” from a well known pile ‘em high, sell ‘em cheap, outlet without really knowing much about them 10 or 12 years ago. They are just so universal in their function, be it around town, around the house garden or around the yard and horses. I find them super comfortable to wear with more pockets than you could ever wish for. You don’t over heat in the summer nor do you freeze in the winter. If you do get caught in the wet, they dry reasonably quickly. They are easy to care for and they seem to last for ever. I’m really pleased to have been able to identify them as Kiwi’s and replace those that have finally worn out. If you are lightly built, you might find ‘em a bit too baggy but I really like the unrestricted movement they afford.
