FAQs

What is the active ingredient in the anti-insect treatment?

The anti-insect treatment is typically based on permethrin, a synthetic compound similar to those found naturally in chrysanthemum flowers. It is safe for human use and odorless once bonded to the fabric.

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The anti-insect treatment is designed to remain effective for the lifetime of the garment, typically lasting through many washes (often cited as up to 70 washes). Proper care is essential to maintain its efficacy.

Is the recycled polyester and cotton environmentally friendly?

Yes, using recycled polyester and cotton reduces the demand for virgin materials, conserves energy, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions compared to producing new fibers.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), offering excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.

Can I wear this shirt in very humid conditions?

The cotton blend fabric offers some breathability, making it suitable for warm weather. However, in extremely high humidity, like any shirt, it may feel less breathable than in dry conditions.

What are the dimensions of the secure zip pocket?

Specific dimensions for the zip pocket are not provided, but it is designed to securely hold small essentials like keys, cards, or a small mobile phone.

Does the shirt come in other colors?

Yes, the Craghoppers Kiwi II Short-Sleeved Shirt is available in a range of colors, including Ombre Blue, Grey, Cream, and Beige, often with secondary color accents.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can reduce the effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment. Tumble dry on low or line dry.

Insect repellent effect seems reduced

The anti-insect treatment is designed to last for a significant number of washes (typically up to 70). Follow care instructions to maximize longevity. If you suspect a significant reduction, contact customer support.

Sizing seems incorrect

Refer to the detailed sizing chart provided. Measurements are in inches for chest circumference. Ensure you are measuring correctly.
