Product Information

Full details

This long-sleeved shirt is designed for adults seeking practical, protective outdoor wear. Its key benefit is offering robust sun and insect protection in a comfortable, adaptable design. A potential consideration is its relaxed fit, which may not suit those preferring a very tailored silhouette. The Craghoppers Kiwi II shirt is crafted from a recycled polycotton blend, featuring NosiDefence and Solarshield technologies for anti-insect and UPF 50+ sun protection. It includes convenient pockets and roll-up sleeves for versatility.

FAQs

What is NosiDefence?

NosiDefence is a fabric technology integrated into the garment that provides an effective barrier against biting insects, such as mosquitoes and ticks.

How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection against sun damage.

Can I wear this shirt in very hot weather?

The shirt is designed for comfort, but being a polycotton blend, it may feel warmer than a lightweight, 100% synthetic material in extreme heat. The roll-up sleeves help with ventilation.

Is the anti-insect treatment safe?

The anti-insect treatment is designed to be safe for wear and is bonded into the fabric. It is generally considered safe for skin contact.

How should I wash the shirt to preserve its features?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and cool iron if needed. Avoid fabric softeners.

What does 'relaxed fit' mean?

A relaxed fit means the shirt is cut with extra room for comfort and ease of movement, without being overly baggy.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, the Craghoppers Kiwi II shirt is available in various colors, including Ombre Blue, Brown, Oatmeal, and Pebble, across different sizes.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade the treatment. If the issue persists after proper care, the treatment may have naturally worn off over extensive use.

Shirt feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes occur with polycotton blends. Try a cool iron and ensure the shirt is fully dry. Using a small amount of mild detergent without optical brighteners may also help.

Sleeves do not stay rolled up.

Ensure the tab and button mechanism is properly secured. The fabric may become softer over time, which could affect hold. Ensure the material is not overly damp when attempting to roll.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent sun protection with UPF 50+ rating.
  • Effective insect repellent treatment (NosiDefence).
  • Made with sustainable, recycled materials.
  • Versatile design with roll-up sleeves and multiple pockets.
  • Comfortable relaxed fit for all-day wear.

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may be too loose for some.
  • Polycotton blend may be less breathable than 100% natural fibers in extreme heat.
  • Logo detail is a fixed design element.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This shirt requires no setup and is designed for immediate wear. It is compatible with standard adult apparel sizing. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and its protective technologies:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry.
  4. Ironing: Cool iron if necessary.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment.
