Frequently Asked Questions

• How do ExOfficio Give-N-Go 2.0 underwear and the Everyday Hipster (style E14113) differ in materials and performance?

  Give-N-Go 2.0 underwear is built from quick-drying synthetic blends with anti-odor finishes designed for active use, while the Everyday Hipster (E14113) uses 95% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose and 5% elastane for a softer, more sustainable jersey feel. Expect the Give-N-Go 2.0 to feel faster-drying and more performance-oriented, and the Everyday Hipster to prioritize everyday comfort, breathability, and a lower environmental footprint.
• What should I know about fit and sizing for ExOfficio women's bottoms like the Everyday Hipster and Everyday Bikini (E14111)?

  ExOfficio bottoms use stretchy knit jersey, flatlock seams, and smooth waistbands for an anti-chafe fit; hipsters generally offer more coverage than bikinis. Because fit varies by style, consult the brand size chart and recent customer reviews for the specific style number (for example E14113 or E14111), and consider your preferred coverage and whether you’ll layer them under tight-fitting gear when choosing a size.
• Are BugsAway pieces such as the Rhyolite Long-Sleeve Shirt effective for hiking in insect-prone areas, and how does Insect Shield® work?

  BugsAway garments treated with Insect Shield® provide integrated insect protection by bonding a repellent to the fabric fibers, which helps reduce biting insect contact without a separate spray. The treatment is odorless and designed to remain effective through repeated washes; pair it with proper layering and other precautions in heavy bug conditions for best protection.
• How well do ExOfficio travel tops perform for quick-dry and odor resistance on multi-day trips?

  Many ExOfficio travel tops feature moisture-wicking, breathable fabrics and anti-odor treatments intended for multi-day use, making them easy to pack and wear across activities. Note that the Everyday viscose-based pieces emphasize softness and sustainability and can feel slightly slower to dry than fully synthetic Give-N-Go styles, so air-dry between wears or carry a lightweight backup layer for consecutive days.
• What are the recommended care steps to preserve LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fabric and Insect Shield® protection in ExOfficio women's garments?

  Follow the garment tags: machine wash cold and hang to dry, and avoid bleach, fabric softener, ironing, or dry cleaning to maintain fabric performance and finishes. Skipping fabric softener and high heat helps preserve moisture-wicking, stretch, and the efficacy of Insect Shield® treatments over time.
