What is the Bug Barrier™ Expedition Pro LS?
The Bug Barrier™ Expedition Pro LS (long sleeve) is a functional outdoor shirt with a casual style that can be worn exploring the outback or chilling at home in the garden - it can literally do anything!
What is it made of?
This shirt has a sustainable construction, making it a win for more eco-conscious shoppers. It uses 100% recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles that would've otherwise been directed into landfill. The fabric still feels soft and light on the skin, while being able to quickly wick away sweat and moisture, so you can still feel fresh and dry when working up a sweat in the mountains.
The fabric is Bluesign® approved, ensuring that it has been ethically produced, considering the environment, workers and consumers involved in the manufacturing process.
What are its features?
The fabric is full of clever technologies to enhance it's performance when being pushed to the limits on hot, multi-day adventures. It has PFC free HeiQ Stain Away technology, which helps spills and dirt to wash out easily without using any chemicals harmful to the environment, another bonus for outdoor environmental enthusiasts! The Bug Barrier™ uses Insect Shield® to repel pesky bugs and creepy crawlies, including the devil's spawn, mosquitos.
The shirt has a mesh yoke with built-in HeiQ Smart Temp technology to aid body temperature regulation, balancing the body's microclimate in humid conditions. There are also back and armpit vents that help draw in extra airflow when it's hot, so you can make the most of a cool summer breeze when hiking or scrambling up exposed routes.
Gusseted arms promote better mobility and freedom of movement to get through technical terrain and steep ascents with ease.
How does it fit?
Royal Robbins has put this shirt in their standard fit category, meaning it sits slightly looser on the body for improved airflow, with the option to wear unbuttoned like an overshirt with another layer underneath.
