FAQs

How long does the Bugstopper® Insect Shield® protection last?

The Bugstopper® Insect Shield® protection is built into the fabric and is designed to last the lifetime of the shirt, typically enduring through many washes.

Is the insect repellent safe to wear against the skin?

Yes, the Bugstopper® Insect Shield® technology is odorless and EPA-approved. It is bonded to the fabric and is safe for direct skin contact.

Can I wash this shirt like a normal shirt?

Yes, but it's recommended to machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry low or hang dry.

What types of insects does the Bugstopper® protect against?

The protection is effective against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, flies, chiggers, and midges.

What material is the shirt made from?

The shirt is made from a durable, lightweight, and fast-drying polyester heather-woven fabric.

Are there other sizes and colors available?

This specific product listing is for a Medium size in Dolomite. Other sizes like Large and XL, and colors like Willow Heather are available through different product listings or variants.

Can I remove the insect protection if I don't want it?

No, the Bugstopper® Insect Shield® is permanently integrated into the fabric of the shirt and cannot be removed.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels damp after activity.

The shirt is designed to be fast-drying. If it feels damp, it may be a high humidity environment or significant perspiration. Allow a few minutes in a breezy area or remove and hang to dry more quickly.

Insect repellent seems less effective.

The Bugstopper® Insect Shield® is permanent. However, efficacy can be perceived to diminish with extreme wear and numerous washes. Ensure the garment is clean and dry, as dirt can sometimes interfere with surface treatments. Refer to care instructions to maximize longevity.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If still stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied sparingly.
