Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is the Spyder Shimmer Bug base layer made from?
It's made from 94% polyester and 6% elastane — a stretch double-knit polyester sweater knit bonded to anti-pill fleece with a brushed back for softness.
Can my child use a phone or tablet without removing this base layer?
Yes, the Shimmer Bug features conductive material in the fingertips that allows touchscreen use while wearing the garment.
How should this base layer be washed?
It is machine washable for easy care after a day on the slopes.
What is the under-the-cuff gauntlet feature?
The gauntlet is an extended inner cuff that tucks under gloves or mittens to keep cold air and snow from reaching the wrists.
Is this a standalone jacket or a base layer?
It is designed as a base layer to be worn under a ski jacket, though its fleece-bonded construction provides enough warmth for lighter outdoor activities on its own.
