Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Expert Kiwi Long Sleeve Shirt is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and field workers who require a durable, high-performance garment. Its primary benefit is the combination of Nosi Defence insect-bite protection and UPF 40+ sun shielding, offering comprehensive coverage in challenging environments. While it is highly functional and easy to maintain, users should note that the polyester-cotton construction has a structured feel that may be less breathable than ultra-lightweight synthetic alternatives in extreme heat.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can I wear this in extreme heat?
It is suitable for most conditions, but because it is a blend of polyester and cotton, it may not wick moisture as quickly as pure performance athletic gear.
Is the insect protection permanent?
Yes, the Nosi Defence technology is a physical construction of the fabric rather than just a topical spray, meaning it remains effective over time.
Does this shirt require special soap?
No special soap is required, but you must avoid all water softeners and bleach.
Is the fit true to size?
The shirt is designed with a relaxed fit to allow for layering and movement; it generally runs true to the standard size indicated.
Can I dry clean the shirt?
No, you should not dry clean this garment as it may damage the specialized protective fibers.
What is the UPF rating?
The shirt provides UPF 40+ sun protection.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
You likely used a fabric softener. Skip the softener in future washes; the stiffness will gradually dissipate.
Wrinkles are difficult to remove
Use a warm iron and ensure the garment is slightly damp before pressing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the protective properties, follow these care instructions carefully. Wash the shirt with similar colours in a standard cycle. Do not use bleach or water softeners, as these chemicals can degrade the protective fabric treatments. The garment is safe for tumble drying on a low setting and can be warm ironed if needed. Avoid professional dry cleaning, as the chemicals used in this process may compromise the effectiveness of the Nosi Defence technology.
