What is the Bug Barrier™ Global Expedition LS?
This is the shirt you need to beat the heat. It's a super light, well ventilated shirt with built-in bug repellent technology to keep you feeling cool and comfortable all day long, no matter what your environment.
What is it made of?
The shirt is constructed with Expedition Ripstop, which is lightweight yet still comfortable and durable to resist wear and abrasion from long days in rocky terrain or multi-day camping trips under the sun. The material has a slight stretch to improve mobility and freedom of movement while being able to dry quickly and wick away moisture from the skin to help prevent the shirt from feeling damp and sticky when working up a sweat in the mountains.
There's no need to worry about the shirt looking worn and crumpled when taking it on longer excursions, thanks to the wrinkle resistant properties of the fabric. It helps to prevent the material from creasing up so you can focus on getting down and dirty, making the most of technical summer adventures.
What are its features?
Bug Barrier™ technology offers exceptional protection from annoying creepy crawlies like midges and mosquitos. It uses Insect Shield®, an EPA registered treatment applied to the fabric, proven to provide long lasting, effective protection against insects - perfect for spending a weekend away in the Scottish Highlands or exploring more tropical climates abroad on longer expeditions.
It also has a mesh yoke with HeiQ Smart Temp activated technology, which helps regulate the body temperature when working up a sweat in the mountains in hot, humid conditions. Buttons run up the front centre to fasten, which look smart, traditional and are super easy to use.
There are multiple storage options with the Global Expedition shirt. It has snap closure chest pockets, and hidden zipped chest and side pockets which offer a little more security for more valuable items such as a GPS, phone or keys.
Want to take your sunglasses off? No problem! This shirt also has a convenient sunglasses slot so you don't have to keep them on your head once the sun goes down.
How does it fit?
This shirt sits in Royal Robbins' 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.
