celeste Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I've gotten two pairs off the Kiwi fleece lined winter trousers and they are flippin' fab and at 20 quid rather than 40, it's a pretty good bargain, they are wind and water resistent, cosy warm fleece lined and dry so quickly ( overnight, slung over a door), you'd be daft not to grab a pair, have a look round the rest of the site, there are loads of bargains to be had craghopper breeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Rescue Lover Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Can I ask a daft question? Are the sizes generous or tight around the waist/bum/thighs? I only ask because I have some Rohan trousers and I would need to order the next size up from normal to get in them. Was just wondering whether Craghoppers are slightly more generous in their sizing?

Mommy Bear Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 (edited) Oooh, I luffs my Craghoppers (trousers size 12)- they suit my bum and they do go in at the waist. I would say they are accurately sized but as they have a slightly elasticated waist they are kind. I am 5,2" and their regular length is just right.

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 are any of these suitable for very warm climates per chance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barb Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have got the fleece lined trousers and they are great when I am standing in a wet, windy field teaching kids to shoot a bow and arrow, and the jacket I bought from them keeps the top half warm. Thier mosquito repelant stuff is light weight and fine for warmer climes, I have some of those trousers as well. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reds Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) are any of these suitable for very warm climates per chance ? Not sure if they're reduced but they'll have summer stuff that would be ideal, SP Factors, breathable, travel friendly, quick dry... . It's just not cheap PS. Thanks Celeste, about to order the same, £20 is a bargain! Edited February 5, 2008 by reds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) are any of these suitable for very warm climates per chance ? If any of their summer stuff is on sale it's deffo worth buying, they do really good zip off trousers, that go from long to shorts or, ( the ones I have ) to three quarter length, they are spf factor 40, insect repellent and dry quicker than you can blink, they also do shirts and blouses in the same material I find their sizes are spot on, I'm 5'2 and find the short arse length is a perfect fit, not too tight and not too loose I forgot to mention the best thing about them.............they don't need ironed Edited February 5, 2008 by celeste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celeste Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 ooo before they run out, what are the Womens Kiwi Makino Trousers - short length like please um..........I dunno, I don't have those ones, they are made of the same material so will still dry in a flash and be water repellent, they look more like cargo pants, I find their short length is perfect for me, but as I said before I do have wee stumpy legs think of a Shetland Pony only not so hairy or cute and thats me If you look there is a measurment as to what length "short" is, just get a tape measure and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesB Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Just reviving this thread to say that the Kiwi lined trousers are reduced from £40 to £25 at the minute. I've been looking all over the web for recommendations for cheap but warm walking trousers. Did a quick search on the Refuge and bingo.
