The Craghoppers Kiwi Long Sleeved Shirt is engineered for reliable performance across a range of outdoor activities. For hiking and trekking, its durable polyester-cotton blend resists snags and abrasions from trailside vegetation, while Nosi Defence protects against insect bites in wooded or marshy areas.
