What is the Bug Barrier™ Round Trip Hoody?
This hoody is a lightweight baselayer that helps repel pesky bugs like mosquitos and midges, alongside providing extra UV protection. It's perfect for hiking, hill-walking, scrambling or climbing on exposed routes during the summer months.
What is it made of?
This technical piece is constructed with durable, eco-conscious drirelease®. This clever material helps quickly and efficiently wick away moisture from the skin to offer optimum comfort when working up a sweat. Its quick drying properties are perfect for UK conditions where the weather constantly changes. If you get caught in a sharp shower, you won't have to worry so much about lugging damp, clingy clothes around to finish your adventure - this material will do all the work.
Odour control keeps you feeling and smelling fresh as a daisy, helping prevent odour build-up from long days in the mountains, so you won't have to worry about offending your campmates when you arrive back at base.
What are its features?
Starting with the all-important feel, it's light, super smooth and soft on the skin, making it really easy to wear on long summer days.
The built-in Bug Barrier™ technology repels unwelcome creepy crawlies, ideal for those looking to brave the plagues of midges and explore the Scottish Highlands in warmer seasons. Bug Barrier™ uses Insect Shield® technology, an EPA registered treatment bonded to the fabric that helps repel insects carrying dangerous diseases. From a safety perspective, it's a remarkable piece of kit! It provides fantastic shielding without impacting the overall performance of the hoody, combining elements of effective protection with comfort and functionality.
The hoody offers full coverage across the upper body, with long sleeves and an adjustable hood. Use the drawcord to adapt the hood until you get the perfect fit. It will allow you to cinch it in enough to keep bugs from buzzing around your ears.
For storage, there's a hidden zippered pocket on the side seam, ideal for holding smaller essentials, such as keys, snacks or energy gels to keep you fuelled throughout the day.
The hoody simply looks and feel fantastic. It has a super versatile style, so you can wear it to embrace the outdoors or even pair it with some jeans to run errands at the weekend.
How does it fit?
