Full details

The Simms Bugstopper Intruder® Bi-Comp UV Protective Shirt is designed for male adult anglers seeking superior sun and insect protection. Its key benefit is the combination of Insect Shield® and COR3™ technologies, offering both bug repellency and moisture-wicking properties. A potential caveat is that while the shirt offers excellent protection, it's essential to consider layering for varying weather conditions. This shirt features quick-drying, durable polyester construction, knit side panels for mobility, and UPF 30 sun protection, making it an ideal choice for long days on the water.

Troubleshooting

Insect Shield® effectiveness seems reduced.

Ensure you are following the care instructions, especially regarding washing with mild detergents. The Insect Shield® treatment can diminish over time and with improper care. If the shirt has been washed many times, the insect-repelling properties may decrease.

Shirt feels less breathable.

Ensure that the knit side panels are not obstructed by other clothing layers. Also, consider the ambient temperature and humidity, as these factors affect breathability. Avoid wearing excessively tight underlayers that can restrict airflow.

Zippered pockets are difficult to use.

Check for any obstructions or debris in the zippers. Ensure the pockets are not overloaded with bulky items, which can make them harder to open and close. Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant if necessary.
