Simms Bugstopper UV Sun Protective Gloves - Unisex

Insect Shield® is designed to provide effective, long-lasting protection against mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and gnats. The treatment is odorless and bonded to the fabric fibers.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50 rating means the fabric blocks approximately 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

Yes, you can machine wash the gloves in cold water with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.

These are sun gloves designed for protection from UV rays and insects, not for warmth. The half-finger design prioritizes dexterity over insulation.

The main fabric is SolarFlex® stretch fabric, composed of 92% polyester and 8% spandex. They also feature suede overlays on the pointer and middle fingers.

The Insect Shield® treatment is designed to remain effective for the expected lifetime of the garment, typically meaning through many washes and years of use.

The built-in stripping guard is an additional protective layer on the gloves, particularly useful for fly fishing to protect the hand from abrasion against the fishing line.

While Insect Shield® is long-lasting, its effectiveness can diminish over time. Consider reapplying insect repellent to exposed skin as needed. Proper care and washing can help preserve the technology.

Ensure you have selected the correct size by consulting the Simms sizing chart. Measure your hand circumference and length as indicated. If the fit is still not ideal, consider exchanging for a different size.

The suede overlays are designed for durability, but heavy friction can cause wear. Avoid excessive rubbing against abrasive surfaces. Gentle cleaning and proper drying can help maintain their condition.
