FAQs
Does the sun protection wash out?
The UPF 40+ protection is built into the fabric construction, but it is recommended to follow the washing instructions carefully to prolong the life of the finish.
Can I wear this in extreme heat?
Yes, the breathable recycled polyester material is designed to wick moisture and keep you comfortable in warm outdoor conditions.
Is the fit true to size?
The shirt features a relaxed fit, providing ample room for movement, which is standard for Craghoppers Expert sizing.
What is Nosi Defence?
Nosi Defence is a specialized textile technology designed to provide an effective barrier against biting insects.
Why can't I dry clean this shirt?
Dry cleaning solvents can compromise the chemical treatments responsible for the insect-repellent and UV-protective properties of the fabric.
Are the sleeves adjustable?
The sleeves are long-sleeve, providing maximum coverage, but can be easily rolled up for ventilation if required.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less effective at repelling insects
Ensure you have not used fabric softeners or harsh detergents during washing, as these can coat the Nosi Defence fibers and reduce efficacy.
Garment is wrinkled after laundry
The shirt is low-maintenance, but you can use a warm iron to remove creases. Avoid high heat as it may damage the technical fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shirt maintains its protective properties, follow the garment care label strictly. Wash the shirt with similar colours in a standard machine cycle. It is critical to avoid using bleach or water softeners, as these chemicals can degrade the insect-repellent and sun-protective finishes on the fabric fibers. You may tumble dry the shirt on a low heat setting and use a warm iron if you prefer a crisp look. Never take this garment to a dry cleaner, as the process can strip away the specialized technological treatments. The shirt is designed for a regular, relaxed fit; when selecting your size, stick to your standard retail measurements, as the garment is cut to allow for full range of motion.
