Arc'teryx Kragg SL Cotton Bird Word T-Shirt Alpine Blue/Stone Red

The Arc’teryx Kragg SL Cotton Bird Word T-Shirt in Alpine Blue/Stone Red provides a premium and high-performance solution for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts who demand more from a standard cotton tee. This garment addresses the need for a "technical natural" layer by utilising 160gsm long-staple SUPIMA® cotton—a fabric renowned for being softer, stronger, and more breathable than conventional cotton. Featuring articulated patterning and a striking back graphic, it functions as a durable, airy staple designed to handle the friction of the crag while maintaining a luxuriously soft feel for the journey home.

Key Features

• Constructed from premium, long-staple 160GSM SUPIMA® cotton jersey that offers natural breathability, exceptional durability, and a luxuriously soft handfeel.
•  Engineered with a smooth, continuous seam along the neck, shoulders, and sleeves to minimise chafing and improve the garment's overall lifespan.
• Features strategically placed seams that sit away from pressure points, ensuring maximum comfort when wearing a heavy approach pack or climbing harness.
• Designed with a specific "climbing-centric" cut that allows for total freedom of movement during high-reach moves without the hem lifting.
• Offers a classic, comfortable silhouette that provides airflow to help you stay cool during high-output activities or hot days at the gym.
• Utilises SUPIMA® cotton, ensuring a higher standard of fibre strength and a reduced environmental impact compared to mass-market cotton.

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This t-shirt is cut comfortably through the chest and waist, offering a relaxed drape that sits perfectly between a slim and oversized fit.
• Most users find the Kragg SL fits accurately. The articulated patterning ensures that even in your standard size, you have a full range of motion.
• We recommend your usual size.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Use a gentle cycle to preserve the long-staple SUPIMA® fibres and the vibrancy of the Alpine Blue dye.
• For best results, use a low heat setting. To maximise the life of the shirt, air-drying is highly recommended.
• Softeners can coat the natural cotton fibres and reduce the shirt's inherent breathability.
• If required, use a cool iron. Avoid ironing directly over the back graphic to prevent damage to the print.

Arc’teryx Kragg SL - Our FAQs

1. What makes SUPIMA® cotton better?
   SUPIMA® is the top 1% of the world’s cotton. The longer fibres create a smoother surface that is less prone to pilling and much stronger than standard cotton, which is vital for climbing.

2. Will it shrink?
   While pre-shrunk, premium cotton can experience minor natural shrinkage if exposed to high heat. Always wash cold and dry low to maintain the original fit.

3. Is the graphic on the front or back?
   This specific model features the small Bird logo on the chest and the larger "Bird Word" graphic across the back.

4. Is it too heavy for a summer t-shirt?
   No, at 160gsm it is considered a lightweight (SL) jersey—perfectly balanced to provide durability without feeling thick or clammy in the heat.
