FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The anti-insect treatment is designed to last for a specified number of washes. Please refer to the care label on the garment for precise details on longevity and care recommendations to maintain its effectiveness.

Is the anti-insect treatment safe for skin?

Yes, the anti-insect treatment is applied to the fabric and is designed to be safe for skin contact when used as intended. It provides protection without direct application of repellents to the skin.

Can I wear this shirt in very hot and humid weather?

The shirt is lightweight and quick-drying, which aids comfort. However, being primarily polyester, it may be less breathable than natural fibers in extreme heat and humidity. It is best suited for activities where protection is prioritized.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays. This helps prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage.

How do I wash the shirt to maintain its features?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softener, as it can impact the effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment and the fabric's quick-dry properties.

What is ISOFLEX active stretch fabric?

ISOFLEX is Regatta's proprietary fabric technology that combines polyester and elastane to create a material that is lightweight, durable, quick-drying, and offers stretch for ease of movement during physical activity.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels less protective against insects after several washes.

The anti-insect treatment may diminish over time. Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, avoiding fabric softeners and high heat drying. Consider reapplying insect treatment if the garment's effectiveness significantly decreases.

Shirt is not drying as quickly as expected.

Ensure the shirt is not oversaturated with water and that excess water has been wrung out. Proper ventilation aids in faster drying. Check that the fabric hasn't been treated with fabric softener, which can affect absorbency.

Stitching coming undone.

Inspect the garment for any loose threads. Minor issues can often be secured with a needle and thread. For significant damage, contact the retailer or manufacturer for warranty information.
