Arc'teryx Kragg SL Bird Word Tee - FAQs

What is SUPIMA cotton and why is it better for climbing and pack carry?

SUPIMA cotton uses extra-long staple fibers, making the fabric significantly stronger and softer than standard short-staple cotton. In this Arc'teryx T-shirt, the 160gsm jersey knit resists tears, scuffs, and dirt while remaining breathable to keep you cool under high effort.

How does this shirt fit compared to standard cotton shirts?

It features a regular fit that runs slightly loose and boxy to let air circulate around your core. The extra length and dynamic arm patterning allow you to stretch overhead or wear it under a climbing harness without it pulling up.

Will backpack straps irritate my shoulders while wearing this shirt?

No. The shoulder seams shift away from the top of your shoulders, so heavy pack straps don't press them into your skin. Continuous-seam construction along the neck also prevents painful rubbing during long hikes.

How should I wash this cotton shirt to prevent shrinking and fabric wear?

Machine wash in cold water on a low cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Wash dark colors separately and avoid fabric softeners or bleach to preserve the long-staple cotton fibers and breathable finish.
