FAQs

What is Insect Shield® technology?

Insect Shield® is a technology that bonds permethrin, an odorless insect repellent, to the fabric fibers. This provides long-lasting protection against insects like mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects.

What is COR3™ technology?

COR3™ technology is Simms' proprietary fabric technology that provides moisture-wicking, odor control, and UPF 30 sun protection.

How do I wash the shirt?

Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Does the shirt protect against the sun?

Yes, the shirt provides UPF 30 sun protection, shielding you from harmful UV rays.

What colors are available?

The available colors are Driftwood and Cinder.

What sizes are available?

The shirt is available in sizes Medium to XLarge.

Are the pockets big enough for a fly box?

Yes, the two zippered chest pockets are fly box-compatible.

How long does the insect repellent last?

The Insect Shield® protection is effective for the life of the garment, or up to 70 washes.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent effectiveness seems diminished after washing.

Follow the washing instructions carefully, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners. If needed, reapply insect repellent after washing, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Shirt feels uncomfortable in hot weather.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture. Consider wearing the shirt in the early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler. Stay hydrated.
