FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The duration of the anti-insect treatment typically depends on the number of washes and care. Following the recommended washing and drying instructions will help maintain its effectiveness for as long as possible.

Is this shirt suitable for very cold weather?

No, this shirt is designed for warm weather. Its lightweight and breathable mesh fabric prioritizes cooling and comfort, offering minimal insulation.

Can I use regular detergent to wash this shirt?

Yes, you can use regular mild detergent. However, it is crucial to avoid fabric softeners, as they can hinder the fabric's performance properties like moisture-wicking and the effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment.

What does '90gsm' mean for the fabric?

GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter,' which is a measure of fabric density. 90gsm indicates a lightweight fabric, contributing to the shirt's breathability and comfort in warm conditions.

Will the anti-insect treatment wash out?

The treatment is designed to be durable, but like most fabric treatments, it can diminish over time with frequent washing. Proper care can help extend its lifespan.

What specific insects does the treatment protect against?

The treatment offers defense against biting insects, commonly including mosquitos and midges. The level of protection can vary based on environmental factors.

What is the best way to dry this shirt?

The shirt is quick-drying. You can tumble dry it on a low heat setting or hang it to air dry. Air drying is often recommended to preserve fabric integrity and treatments.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels damp after activity

Ensure you are wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath if needed, or allow the shirt more time to dry. Check that the washing process did not involve fabric softener.

Insect bites are still occurring

The anti-insect treatment provides defense, but its effectiveness can vary. For significant insect issues, consider using additional personal insect repellent. Ensure the treatment is maintained by following care instructions.

Fabric seems to be losing breathability

Check for residue buildup from detergents or body oils. Wash the garment again following the care instructions, ensuring no fabric softener is used. A quick rinse cycle without detergent might also help.

Garment appears stretched or misshapen

Avoid harsh washing or drying cycles. Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Always follow the recommended care instructions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash according to the care label, typically at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the moisture-wicking and anti-insect properties of the fabric.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. The quick-drying nature of the fabric means it will dry relatively quickly.
  4. Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting. High heat may damage the fabric or compromise the anti-insect treatment.
  5. Chemicals: Do not bleach or dry clean, as these processes can damage the material and its treatments.
