FAQs

Is this hoody suitable for swimming?

While the fabric is fast-drying, it is optimized for fishing and UV protection rather than frequent submersion in chlorinated or saltwater.

Can I remove the hood permanently?

Yes, the hood is designed to be removable, allowing you to use the garment as a standard sun shirt.

What does UPF 40+ mean?

UPF 40+ indicates that the fabric blocks approximately 97.5% of UV radiation, providing excellent protection against sun damage.

Does this shirt provide bug protection?

The fabric is lightweight and breathable, but it does not contain specialized chemical insect repellent treatments.

How should I store the hemo tab?

The hemo tab is designed to hold your hemostats securely; keep it clean of debris to ensure a firm grip on your tools.

Is the fit true to size?

The River Rambler features a stretch construction for an active fit, which generally aligns with standard sizing.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels saturated with moisture

Ensure the shirt is not being worn underneath a non-breathable outer layer; moisture-wicking fabric requires airflow to evaporate sweat.

Lens cleaner cloth is dirty

Rinse the cleaning section gently with cool water and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is ready to wear immediately. To ensure long-term performance of the sun protection and wicking finish, wash in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the technical properties of the fabric. Hang drying is recommended to maintain the garment's shape and integrity. For storage, ensure the hood is attached or stored properly to avoid misplacing the component.
