FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The duration of the anti-insect treatment is dependent on the number of washes. Please refer to the care label on your garment for the specific number of washes the treatment is guaranteed for. After this period, its effectiveness may decrease.

Is the anti-insect treatment safe for skin contact?

Yes, the anti-insect treatment used is designed to be safe for skin contact when worn as intended. It forms a protective barrier against insects.

How do I check my size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. Measure your chest, waist, and sleeve length to find the best fit. For this shirt, ensure you can move freely.

Can I wear this shirt in cold weather?

This shirt is designed for warm weather and active use. While it offers protection from the elements, it is lightweight and may not provide sufficient warmth in cold temperatures without layering.

What is UPF 50+?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent sun protection.

How should I care for the fabric to maintain its properties?

Wash in cold water with mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. This preserves the fabric's quick-drying and stretch capabilities, as well as the treatments.

Troubleshooting

Reduced effectiveness of anti-insect treatment

The anti-insect treatment has a limited lifespan based on washes. Check the product tag for the estimated number of washes. If beyond this limit, the treatment may have expired, and a new shirt is recommended.

Shirt feels less breathable after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce fabric breathability. Wash with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Air drying can also help maintain fabric performance.

Stains on the shirt

Treat stains promptly with a mild stain remover before washing. For persistent stains, gently rub the affected area with a soft brush and mild soap before laundering.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective protection against insects and harmful UV rays.
  • Comfortable and flexible due to lightweight, quick-drying, and stretch fabric.
  • Adaptable coverage with roll-up sleeves and sun-shield collar.
  • Suitable for various outdoor activities like trekking and travel.

Cons

  • Requires specific care to maintain anti-insect treatment effectiveness.
  • May not be suitable for very cold weather due to its lightweight nature.
  • The specific checkered pattern might not appeal to all users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This shirt requires no complex setup. Its primary function is achieved through its fabric properties and treatments. For optimal performance and longevity, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce its breathability and potentially affect the anti-insect treatment.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Prolonged exposure to high heat can damage the fabric and its protective treatments.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Avoid ironing directly over any printed logos or labels.
  • Anti-Insect Treatment: The anti-insect treatment is designed to last for a specified number of washes (refer to the product tag for details). Reapplication is typically not advised; replacement of the garment is recommended once the treatment efficacy diminishes significantly.
  • UPF Protection: The UPF protection is inherent to the fabric weave and does not diminish with washing.
