Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the Anti-Insect treatment last?

The duration of the Anti-Insect treatment is rated for a specific number of washes. Please refer to the product's care label or original packaging for precise details on wash endurance.

Is the Anti-Insect treatment safe for skin contact?

Yes, the treatment is designed to be safe for skin contact as per industry standards for apparel. However, if you experience any irritation, discontinue use and consult a physician.

Can I use this shirt in very hot and humid weather?

Yes, the shirt is lightweight and quick-drying, making it suitable for hot and humid conditions. The breathability and moisture-wicking properties help keep you comfortable.

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 radiation, offering excellent sun protection.

How do I wash the shirt to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Can I re-apply the insect repellent treatment myself?

While the original treatment is factory-applied, you can enhance repellency by using a fabric-safe insect repellent spray. Ensure the spray is compatible with polyester and follow its application instructions.

What material is the shirt made from?

The shirt is made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, which is composed of 96% polyester and 4% elastane, weighing 125gsm.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels sticky or stiff after washing.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can build up on the fabric and affect its properties. Re-wash with a mild detergent only.

Insect repellent effect seems reduced.

The Anti-Insect treatment has a limited lifespan based on washes. Consider applying a compatible insect repellent spray directly to the fabric for renewed protection, following the repellent's instructions.

Sleeves won't stay rolled up.

Ensure the button tab is securely fastened. If the fabric has become stretched, try rolling the sleeves more tightly before securing.

Shirt is not drying quickly.

Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine and that excess water is spun out. Avoid high heat drying, which can sometimes hinder quick-dry properties. Ensure no fabric softener was used.

Care Instructions: To maintain the effectiveness of the Anti-Insect treatment and the fabric's properties, follow these care guidelines:

Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the Anti-Insect treatment and the fabric's quick-dry properties.
Ironing: Iron on a cool setting if necessary.
Repellency Maintenance: The Anti-Insect treatment is designed to last for a specified number of washes (check product tags for details). For prolonged or frequent use, consider using a separate insect repellent spray on the garment if needed, ensuring compatibility with polyester fabrics.
