Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Expert Kiwi Long Sleeve Shirt is designed for adult women who require a reliable, functional workwear garment for outdoor environments. Its primary benefit is the combination of Nosi Defence insect-bite protection and UPF 40+ sun shielding, making it ideal for field work or hiking. One caveat to note is that while the polyester fabric is quick-drying and durable, it requires specific care—such as avoiding bleach and fabric softeners—to maintain its protective technologies.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does the Nosi Defence wear off?

Nosi Defence is a physical barrier created by the tight weave of the fabric, meaning it is inherent to the shirt's construction and will remain effective throughout the life of the garment.

Can I wear this in extreme heat?

Yes, the shirt is designed to be lightweight and quick-drying, making it suitable for hot climates, especially given its UPF 40+ protection.

Is the sizing consistent with other Craghoppers products?

Generally, yes. This shirt follows standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend checking the size guide if you are between sizes.

Can I use this for hiking?

Absolutely. Its combination of sun protection, quick-dry performance, and insect defense makes it an excellent choice for trekking and hiking.

Why can't I use fabric softener?

Fabric softeners coat the fibers of the material, which can interfere with the shirt's moisture-wicking capabilities and potentially reduce the effectiveness of the tight-weave insect protection.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels slightly stiff after washing

This is likely due to mineral buildup or residual detergent. Ensure you are not using fabric softeners and run an extra rinse cycle.

Fabric holds onto odors

Ensure the shirt is allowed to air dry completely if not tumble drying. Polyester can trap oils; using a sports-specific laundry detergent can help break these down without damaging the weave.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides UPF 40+ sun protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the shirt’s protective features, follow these laundry guidelines:

  1. Washing: Always wash with similar colours to prevent dye transfer.
  2. Avoid Additives: Do not use bleach or water softeners, as these can break down the fabric's specialized weave and protective treatments.
  3. Drying: You may tumble dry on a low setting.
  4. Ironing: Use a warm iron if needed, but avoid high heat which could damage the synthetic fibers.
  5. Maintenance: Do not dry clean the garment, as the chemicals used in the process may compromise the protective integrity of the Nosi Defence technology.
