FAQs

How long does the Bugstopper® insect protection last?

The Bugstopper® Insect Shield® protection is built into the fabric and lasts for the lifetime of the shirt, meaning it does not wash off or wear out with normal use and laundering.

What types of insects does the Bugstopper® repel?

Bugstopper® technology is effective against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, flies, chiggers, and midges.

Is the Bugstopper® treatment safe for skin contact?

Yes, the treatment is bonded to the fabric and is odorless. It is designed to be safe for use by the entire family.

Can I wear this shirt in the rain?

The shirt is made of lightweight, fast-drying polyester, making it suitable for light rain. It is not waterproof but will dry relatively quickly if it gets wet.

What are the available colors and sizes?

The shirt is available in Dolomite Heather and Willow Heather. Standard adult male sizes typically range from Medium to X-Large.

How do I adjust the sleeves?

The sleeves feature adjustable tabs and button closures that allow you to roll them up securely to a 3/4 length for better ventilation and comfort when needed.

Are the zipped pockets large enough for a smartphone?

The zipped pockets are designed for secure storage of essentials. Their size is generally suitable for most standard smartphones, but it's recommended to check dimensions if a specific fit is critical.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels slightly stiff after washing.

This is normal for some synthetic fabrics. The stiffness should reduce with wear and movement. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impact the fabric's performance and the insect shield treatment.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat and free of obstructions. Gently try to operate the zipper. If debris is present, use a soft brush to clean the zipper teeth. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied if necessary, avoiding contact with the fabric.

Fabric seems to be losing its fast-drying properties.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid using fabric softeners or excessive detergent, as these can build up on synthetic fibers and reduce their wicking capabilities. Wash with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat.
