Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Shirt Kiwi II is designed for adults seeking versatile, protective outdoor wear. Its key benefit is multi-season comfort and protection with integrated anti-insect and UPF 50+ sun features. A potential caveat is its relaxed fit, which may not suit those preferring a more tailored silhouette. This long-sleeved shirt is crafted from a recycled polycotton blend, featuring a turn-down collar, roll-up sleeves for adaptability, and practical secure zip and flap-closure pockets. Enhanced with NosiDefence and Solarshield technologies, it offers a significant barrier against insects and harmful UV rays.

FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for very hot and humid weather?

The shirt is designed for comfort in moderate to warm conditions, with features like roll-up sleeves for ventilation. While the breathable polycotton blend helps, it may feel warm in extreme heat and humidity compared to lighter, specialized summer fabrics.

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The NosiDefence treatment is incorporated into the fabric and is designed to remain effective for a considerable lifespan, typically lasting for many washes. Specific longevity can vary based on washing and wear.

What is the primary benefit of the Solarshield technology?

Solarshield technology provides UPF 50+ protection, meaning it blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, significantly reducing your skin's exposure to sun damage.

Can I wear this shirt in the rain?

This shirt is not designed to be waterproof. It offers basic protection from light showers but will soak through in prolonged or heavy rain. It is best suited for dry or mildly wet conditions.

What does 'relaxed fit' mean for sizing?

A relaxed fit is looser than a standard or slim fit, allowing for more freedom of movement and comfort. It's designed not to cling to the body. Please refer to the size chart for specific measurements.

Are the recycled materials as durable as virgin materials?

Yes, modern recycling processes allow for the creation of high-quality recycled materials that offer comparable durability and performance to their virgin counterparts.

How should I store the shirt when not in use?

Store the shirt clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid prolonged storage in direct sunlight or humid conditions to preserve the fabric's properties.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes occur with technical fabrics. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. A low-heat tumble dry may help soften the fabric.

Insect repellency seems reduced

The NosiDefence treatment is designed to last for a significant number of washes. If effectiveness is noticeably reduced, consider reapplying an appropriate fabric treatment suitable for outdoor clothing, following product instructions carefully.

Sun protection feels less effective

The UPF rating is inherent to the fabric's weave and composition. Ensure the garment is not excessively stretched, as this can reduce protection. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
