FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment is designed to last through a significant number of washes, but it will naturally diminish over time with repeated laundering. Following the care instructions, especially regarding fabric softeners, will help preserve its efficacy for longer.

Is the anti-insect treatment safe for skin contact?

Yes, the anti-insect treatment is integrated into the fabric and designed to be safe for skin contact according to standard regulations for apparel.

Can I wear this shirt in the rain?

While the shirt is quick-drying, it is not waterproof. It is designed primarily for protection against sun and insects in dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be necessary.

What type of insects does the treatment repel?

The treatment is designed to repel a range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, and midges.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. Measure your chest and compare it to the garment's measurements. The shirt is designed for an active fit, so consider your preferred comfort level.

Can I apply additional insect repellent over the shirt?

You can apply insect repellent, but be aware that some chemical repellents may affect the fabric or the integrated treatment over time. Always follow the instructions on the repellent product.

What is the primary material of the shirt?

The shirt is made from polyester, which contributes to its lightweight, quick-drying, and durable properties.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels less effective against insects after several washes.

The anti-insect treatment can degrade over time. Follow care instructions carefully, specifically avoiding fabric softeners. Consider reapplying a compatible insect repellent spray if needed, following product instructions.

Shirt is not drying as quickly as expected.

Ensure the washing machine has completed its spin cycle effectively. Check that the fabric is not overly saturated with fabric softener, which can impede drying. Line dry in a well-ventilated area for optimal results.

Sun protection seems reduced.

The UPF rating is inherent to the fabric's construction and treatment. Ensure the garment is not stretched excessively, which can thin the fabric and reduce its protective qualities. Check for any damage or thinning of the material.
