Keep the bugs and sun at bay without limiting your cast or smelling like a biohazard.
When a swarm of biting bugs is doing their best to keep you from tying on the next fly, it’s time to either call it a day or call in reinforcements. The Simms Bugstopper® Intruder® is all the reinforcement you’ll need. This technical shirt has Insect Shield® to keep the bugs at bay and COR3™™ tech to wick moisture, handle odor and give you UPF 30-worth of sun protection. The Bugstopper® Intruder® is constructed of quick-drying, durable, woven polyester on the main body and knit side and arm panels for major mobility whether on the cast or on the oars.
Insect Shield® repellent apparel provides long-lasting, effective and convenient personal insect protection to help battle insects some of which may carry diseases such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease. Insect Shield Repellent Apparel has been registered to repel mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges (no-see-ums). The active ingredient in Insect Shield is so tightly bonded to the fabric fibers that it retains effective repellency throughout the lifetime of the product.
A fabric with a rating of 30 will allow only 1/30th of the sun's UV rays to pass through. This means the fabric will reduce your skin's UV radiation exposure significantly. All of our UPF finishes last the life of the garment, an industry standard of 30 washings.
