Product Overview
The Craghoppers Expert Kiwi Ranger Hat (CR601) is a masterfully engineered headwear solution designed for professionals who face the dual challenges of sun exposure and biting insects. This ranger-style hat combines a classic aesthetic with modern technical performance, utilising a blend of recycled polyester and cotton. Its peached finish provides a soft, professional feel without compromising on the ruggedness required for outdoor labour. By incorporating approximately five recycled plastic bottles into its construction, this garment offers a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious businesses without sacrificing quality.
Key Features
- Nosi Defence Technology: This specialised fabric construction acts as a robust barrier against biting insects, ensuring you can focus on the task at hand without distraction or discomfort in challenging environments.
- EcoShield DWR Finish: The plant-based water repellent coating ensures that light rain beads off the surface, keeping the wearer dry during unpredictable weather shifts.
- Integrated Inner Pocket: A discreetly placed pocket provides a secure location for small essentials, keeping them safe and close to hand while on the move.
- Sustainable Fabric Blend: Utilising BCI cotton and recycled polyester, this hat supports ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility while maintaining a durable structure.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 65% recycled polyester and 35% recycled cotton offers a balanced performance profile. The polyester provides necessary durability and quick-drying properties, while the cotton ensures breathability during physical exertion. This lightweight fabric is engineered to be splashproof and provides in-built sun protection, making it an essential piece of equipment for hot-climate work. The peached finish on the outer fabric gives it a sophisticated, matte appearance and a soft tactile quality that belies its tough technical specifications.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To ensure your team presents a cohesive and professional image, the Expert Kiwi Ranger Hat is suitable for both print and embroidery. For a formal, long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery of your company logo or staff names. If you require larger, high-impact branding, our printing techniques provide a sharp and vibrant alternative. Our in-house production team, established in 1976 and based in Telford, oversees every stage of the customisation process to ensure the highest quality standards are met for every order.
Use Cases
This hat is ideally suited for landscapers, forestry workers, and agricultural professionals who spend long hours outdoors. It is also an excellent choice for corporate travel or work assignments in warmer climates where insect protection and sun safety are paramount. Its professional yet practical design ensures it fits perfectly into any outdoor uniform requirement.

Practical Advice
The hat is available in two sizes, S/M and L/XL, to accommodate a range of head shapes. For the best fit, we recommend measuring the circumference of the head just above the ears. A secure fit is essential to ensure the hat remains in place during windy conditions or active movement on site. Given its lightweight fabric construction, it is easy to pack away when not in use.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical integrity of the Nosi Defence and EcoShield DWR finishes is vital for the longevity of this garment. We strongly advise following the specific care instructions found on the internal sewn tag to ensure these protective treatments remain effective over time.
Failure to adhere to the recommended cleaning procedures may result in the premature degradation of the water-repellent finish or a reduction in the fabric’s insect-proof capabilities. To keep your custom embroidery or print looking its best, avoid harsh chemical treatments that could damage the fibres or the adhesive bonds of the branding. Proper care ensures the hat remains a reliable part of your workwear kit for many seasons.
