FAQs

How does the anti-insect treatment work?

The treatment is applied to the fabric and works by disrupting the sensory mechanisms of biting insects, making the wearer less attractive to them. It is designed to be effective for a certain number of washes, with effectiveness potentially decreasing over time.

Is the anti-insect treatment safe for skin contact?

Yes, the treatment is designed for safe skin contact and is a common feature in outdoor apparel. Always refer to the product's specific labeling for any detailed warnings.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The fabric is a lightweight mesh weighing 90gsm (grams per square meter).

Can this T-shirt be used in cold weather?

While it can be used as a base layer, the T-shirt is primarily designed for warm weather due to its lightweight and breathable nature. It offers minimal insulation on its own.

How much recycled material is in the shirt?

The product is made with content from recycled materials, specifically a blend where 70% of the total polyester content is recycled polyester.

What sizes and colors are available?

This specific product is the Blue XL variant. The Regatta Mindo range is available in various sizes and colors, including Brown, Beige, and Blue, across different fits and sleeve lengths.

How should I wash the T-shirt to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Insect protection seems reduced after washing.

The anti-insect treatment may naturally diminish over time and with washing. For continued protection, consider using a separate insect repellent spray on the garment, ensuring compatibility with polyester fabrics.

T-shirt feels damp after strenuous activity.

Ensure the garment is not overly tight, as this can impede moisture-wicking. Check that there are no external factors preventing evaporation. If it persists, consider it may be saturated beyond its wicking capacity under extreme conditions.

Fabric feels slightly stiff.

This can sometimes occur with performance fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking properties. A gentle wash cycle should help maintain fabric integrity.
