FAQs
What is ISOFLEX Active Stretch Fabric?
ISOFLEX Active Stretch Fabric is a blend of 96% polyester and 4% elastane, designed to be lightweight, quick-drying, and offer excellent flexibility for active performance.
How effective is the insect repellent treatment?
The treatment helps to deter insects. Its effectiveness can diminish over time with repeated washing, but it is designed to last for a significant number of washes. Consult product details for specific longevity if available.
Can this shirt be worn in direct sunlight?
Yes, the shirt offers UPF 50+ protection and features a sun shield collar, making it suitable for wear in direct sunlight to protect your skin.
What should I do if the shirt's water repellency decreases?
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. You can consider using specialized technical washes or re-proofing sprays designed for outdoor clothing to restore water repellency.

What sizes are available?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels less water-repellent or repellent after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener. Consider using a technical wash product or a re-waterproofer/repellent spray suitable for outdoor apparel if the treatment has significantly diminished.
Zipper on chest pocket is stiff.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.
