Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Insect-Repellent Long Sleeve Shirt is designed for adult women who enjoy outdoor exploration and travel in climates where sun protection and insect prevention are essential. Its standout benefit is the combination of UPF 50+ UV shielding and integrated insect-bite repellent technology, all packaged in a lightweight, quick-drying material. While this shirt excels in performance, users should note that the insect-repellent treatment may require specific care over time to maintain its peak effectiveness compared to standard casual wear.

FAQs

Is the insect repellent safe for all skin types?

The treatment is integrated into the fabric. However, if you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to wash the garment before the first wear.

Does the UPF protection wash out?

The fabric is engineered for lasting protection, but following the care instructions on the label is essential to maintain the structural integrity and UV-blocking properties of the material.

Can I wear this in the ocean?

While the fabric is durable, salt water can degrade technical treatments. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after exposure to salt.

What is the best way to store the shirt?

Store it hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and to allow the fabric to breathe, which helps maintain the quality of the technical fibers.

Does the shirt have a regular fit?

Yes, it is designed with a regular fit to ensure comfort and mobility during active use.

Can I use insect spray in addition to the shirt?

Absolutely. The shirt acts as a base layer of defense and works effectively alongside topical insect repellents.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a fabric softener-free detergent and double-rinsing to remove any residue that may be accumulating on the technical fibers.

Difficulty drying in high humidity

Use the drying loop in an area with good air circulation, such as near a fan or an open window, to maximize the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment contains a performance-enhancing insect-repellent treatment, care is crucial for longevity. Always check the internal garment label for specific temperature settings for washing. It is recommended to use gentle cycles with mild detergents to ensure the repellent treatment and the SPF protection are not stripped away prematurely. To dry, avoid high-heat tumble settings; instead, use the integrated drying loop to hang the shirt in a ventilated area away from direct, harsh sunlight when not in active use. The shirt's regular fit is compatible with standard layering systems, allowing it to be worn comfortably under a fleece or waterproof shell during cooler mornings or evenings.
