the Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Cargo trousers are simple, affordable and functional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livefortheoutdoors.com\/hiking\/walking-trousers\/best-walking-trousers\/\">hillwalking

\u00a9LFTO\/Tom Bailey<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>New for 2025, the Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Cargo trousers are made from a blend of 96% recycled polyamide and 4% elastane.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>That small percentage of elastane gives the fabric a touch of stretch, but not nearly as much as many competitors.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>In fact, of the several pairs we\u2019ve tested recently, this is the lowest elastane content.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>The Decathlon Simond MT500 Durable Trekking Trousers use 12\u201315% elastane in different zones, the INOV8 Venture Pant includes 12% and the Keela Peru has 7%.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>As a result, the Craghoppers aren\u2019t particularly stretchy, and they lack the athletic, dynamic feel of more modern designs.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>For some hikers, that will be a deal-breaker. For others, it won\u2019t really matter.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this design and fabric choice gives the Kiwi Pro Cargo a more traditional, slightly stiffer and straighter feel.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re not especially progressive or fashion-forward, but they have that classic Craghoppers DNA \u2013 simple, reliable and functional.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>The Kiwi range has been a big seller for years, and with good reason.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>At <em>Trail<\/em> magazine and <em>Live For The Outdoors<\/em>, we previously rated the Craghoppers Kiwi Pro II 80% in 2023, while the winter-ready Kiwi Pro III Thermo also earned an 80% score in our 2025 <a

\u00a9LFTO\/Tom Bailey<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>There are a few other things to note about the fabrics and materials.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>The pocket bags and trims are made from a different fabric, consisting of 65% recycled polyester and 35% cotton, while across the seat and knees you get a double layer of the main polyamide-elastane fabric for added durability.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Heel tape reinforcements at the ankle cuffs also increase the robustness of these trousers.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>If you face inclement weather while wearing these trousers, the main polyamide-elastane fabric is also packed with several of Craghoppers\u2019 signature technologies, designed to enhance practicality and everyday outdoor performance.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>The material features H2OShield, a plant-based water-repellent finish that\u2019s bonded onto the fabric from a renewable source, helping rain bead and roll off rather than soak in.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also SolarShield technology, which has been tried and tested to provide UPF 30\u201350+ protection from harmful UV rays \u2013 useful for long summer days out in the hills.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the fabric incorporates NosiDefence, a tightly woven construction that forms a robust barrier too tough for insects such as mosquitoes to penetrate.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Altogether, these technologies combine to create a UPF 50+ sun-protective, insect bite-resistant, stretch fabric that\u2019s durable and water-repellent thanks to the H2OShield finish \u2013 making for a practical, all-round pair of trousers for everyday outdoor use.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>In my opinion these technologies give you a nice dose of reassuring ruggedness, robustness and weather protection, but ultimately they are only useful for light downpours.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>When the rain gets heavy, you\u2019ll definitely need to pull on a pair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livefortheoutdoors.com\/hiking\/walking-trousers\/best-waterproof-trousers-reviewed\/\" target=\"_blank\">waterproof overtrousers<\/a> for full protection.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span

tall, with a slim and athletic build, and I tested the Kiwi Pro Cargo trousers in my usual size \u2013 a men\u2019s 32-inch waist with a regular leg. The fit was absolutely fine for me, and in my opinion, these trousers run true to size.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>During my test hikes around my home in northern Cumbria during October, I found them perfectly comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t feel especially agile or athletic, as discussed earlier, but the cut and articulation were good, and they moved well enough during typical hillwalking activity.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Craghoppers describes the cut as an \u201cactive fit\u201d, but it feels more traditional to me compared to many other brands.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"inlineImage_image-container__aklxu block-item\" data-test=\"inline-image-container\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\"

It\u2019s nothing excessively heavy, but they\u2019re certainly not ultralight either.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>For comparison, the Keela Peru trousers come in at 331g and the Inov8 Venture Pant at 391g.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>A few grams here and there isn\u2019t something you\u2019ll notice while hiking, but if you choose an ultralight pair like the Arc&#8217;teryx Incendo Pant (171g in a men\u2019s small), the difference in weight and feel compared to the Craghoppers is immediately obvious.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also great to see Craghoppers offering such a broad size range, with short, regular and long leg length options.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>This means hikers can choose a more bespoke fit to suit their individual body shape, which is a real positive at this affordable price point.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<h2>Features: pockets, waistband and ankle cuffs<\/h2>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>These trousers are not overly complicated or excessively feature-heavy. You don\u2019t get a hybrid construction, there\u2019s no included belt and there\u2019s no ankle adjustment.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>But overall, I\u2019d say you get a fair and practical set of features for the affordable \u00a355 price point, and I don\u2019t have any major complaints.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>The waistband is slightly stretchy, though not as elasticated as on some more performance-focused trousers, but the fit is pretty much spot on.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>If you do need to tighten things up, there are six sturdy belt loops. The waistband closes with a simple plastic button and buttonhole slit above a zippered fly.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>Some of these hardware components \u2013 such as the button and zipper \u2013 feel a little on the basic side, but that\u2019s entirely reasonable given the price and positioning of the Kiwi Pro Cargo within the market.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"inlineImage_image-container__aklxu block-item\" data-test=\"inline-image-container\"><img data-opt-id=758893364  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" alt=\"Craghoppers Kiwi Pro Cargo walking trousers\" loading=\"lazy\" data-nimg=\"fill\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/images.bauerhosting.com\/affiliates\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/1-4.jpg?auto=format&w=1440&q=80&ssl=1\"><\/p>\n<p> \u00a9LFTO\/Tom Bailey<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>In total, you get five pockets, offering a decent amount of storage.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s one zipered pocket at the rear, located on the right buttock, and two zipered handwarmer pockets at the front.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>The angle and positioning of these front pockets make them better suited to securely holding small valuables than for actually resting your hands inside \u2013 though, realistically, how often do you actually do that while hiking?<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"content_content__i0P3p\" data-test=\"content\"><\/p>\n<p>The signature features, however, are the two cargo-style pockets on the sides of each leg.
