Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Kiwi II Shirt is designed for adult males seeking practical and protective outdoor apparel. Its key benefit is dual protection against insects and the sun, making it ideal for travel and adventures. 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 blend of recycled polyester and cotton, featuring a turn-down collar and adjustable roll-up sleeves. It includes secure zip and flap pockets for essential storage, and incorporates NosiDefence anti-insect treatment and Solarshield UPF 50+ sun protection.

FAQs

How long does the NosiDefence treatment last?

The NosiDefence treatment is designed to remain effective for the lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the treatment.

What is the difference between the Kiwi II shirt and other Craghoppers shirts?

The Kiwi II is a specific model known for its blend of NosiDefence anti-insect technology and Solarshield UPF 50+ sun protection, often made with recycled materials. Other models may focus on different features like waterproofing or insulation.

Can I wear this shirt in cold weather?

The shirt is designed for moderate to warm conditions. While it offers protection, it is not insulated. For cold weather, layering is recommended, with this shirt serving as a base or mid-layer.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the sizing chart provided in the product description. Chest measurements are given in inches (e.g., Size S: 38 in, Size M: 40 in). Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart to find the best fit.

Is the shirt breathable?

Yes, the polycotton blend offers a degree of breathability, and the relaxed fit with roll-up sleeves allows for ventilation, making it suitable for active wear in warmer climates.

How should I wash the shirt to maintain its protective properties?

Machine wash at 30°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Crucially, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the anti-insect and sun protection technologies.

What does 'Relaxed Fit' mean for this shirt?

Relaxed fit indicates that the shirt is designed with more room in the chest, waist, and sleeves compared to a regular or slim fit, prioritizing comfort and ease of movement during outdoor activities.

Troubleshooting

Shirt does not feel protective against insects.

Ensure the NosiDefence treatment is still active. The effectiveness may diminish over time and with frequent washing. Follow recommended care instructions carefully. Avoid using fabric softeners which can degrade the treatment.

Sun protection seems inadequate.

Verify that the garment is fully covering the intended skin area. The UPF rating applies to the fabric itself; stretching or saturation can reduce its effectiveness. Ensure the shirt is worn as intended and consider other sun protection measures for exposed areas.

Pockets feel too small for items.

The secure zip pocket is designed for smaller essentials like keys or cards. The flap pocket offers slightly more space but is still intended for travel-sized items. Consider using a separate bag for larger belongings.
