Product Information

Full details

This guide is for men seeking a versatile, long-sleeved shirt for outdoor activities and casual wear. Its key benefit is providing protection from insects and the sun with a comfortable, relaxed fit. A potential caveat is that the relaxed fit might not be preferred by those seeking a more tailored look. The Craghoppers Kiwi II shirt is constructed from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, featuring NosiDefence and Solarshield technologies for anti-insect and UPF 50+ sun protection respectively. It includes practical storage with multiple pockets and can be styled with roll-up sleeves.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The NosiDefence treatment is designed to remain effective for the expected lifespan of the garment when cared for correctly. Follow washing instructions to maintain efficacy.

Can I wear this shirt in very hot weather?

Yes, the shirt is made from a breathable polycotton blend. The roll-up sleeves allow you to adjust ventilation for warmer conditions, and the Solarshield UPF 50+ provides sun protection.

What does 'relaxed fit' mean?

Relaxed fit indicates a looser, more comfortable cut than a standard or slim fit. It provides ample room for movement without being overly baggy.

Is the recycled material as durable as virgin material?

Yes, recycled polyester and cotton undergo processes to ensure they meet performance and durability standards comparable to virgin materials.

How do I check my size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided in the product description. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the specified measurements for each size (e.g., 'M: 40 in.').

Can the anti-insect treatment be washed out?

While regular washing according to care instructions will not remove the treatment, using harsh detergents or fabric softeners may reduce its effectiveness over time. Always follow the garment's care label.

What is the purpose of the turn-down collar?

The turn-down collar provides a classic look and can be worn down for casual style or turned up to offer additional protection for the neck against the sun and insects.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent treatment seems less effective

Ensure the shirt has been washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Reapplication of a specific NosiDefence spray might be necessary if treatment effectiveness significantly diminishes over time.

Shirt feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes occur with performance fabrics. Try washing on a gentler cycle or consider a very mild fabric conditioner specifically designed for outdoor wear, though this may slightly reduce breathability. Ensure the shirt is not over-dried.

Sun protection rating seems reduced

The UPF rating is generally permanent, but significant wear and tear or improper washing (e.g., excessive bleach) could affect it. Refer to care instructions and avoid harsh chemicals.

  • Made from sustainable, recycled materials.
  • Multiple practical pockets for secure storage.
  • Adaptable for different weather conditions with roll-up sleeves.
  • Comfortable relaxed fit suitable for extended wear.

Cons

  • The relaxed fit may be too loose for some preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This is a ready-to-wear garment; no complex setup is required. Ensure you select the correct size by referring to the sizing chart provided in the product details. For care, it is recommended to wash the shirt according to the label instructions, typically on a gentle cycle with similar colors. To maintain the effectiveness of the fabric technologies like NosiDefence and Solarshield, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Air drying is preferable to preserve the integrity of the treatment and fabric. Store the shirt in a cool, dry place.
