Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Anti-Insect Travel Light Shirt is designed for adult males seeking protection during outdoor activities like trekking and travel. Its key benefit is providing UPF 50+ sun protection and an anti-insect finish to deter bites. A potential caveat is its focus on active performance, which might mean a less casual fit for everyday wear. This lightweight, quick-drying shirt is crafted from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement while offering significant sun and insect defense.

FAQs

How does the anti-insect feature work?

The shirt is treated with an odorless, long-lasting insect repellent finish that helps to deter biting insects like mosquitoes and ticks.

Is the UPF 50+ protection permanent?

The UPF 50+ rating is inherent to the fabric construction and treatment. While generally durable, its effectiveness can be maintained by following the recommended care instructions and avoiding harsh chemicals.

Can I wear this shirt in very hot weather?

Yes, the shirt is designed to be lightweight and quick-drying, making it suitable for warm conditions. The breathability of the fabric aids in comfort.

What is the material composition?

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

Does this shirt come in other colors?

Yes, this model is available in multiple colors, including Blue and Beige, and various sizes.

How should I wash this shirt to preserve its features?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying on high heat. Do not dry clean.

Is the anti-insect treatment safe for skin contact?

Yes, the treatment is designed to be safe for skin contact when worn as intended and adheres to relevant safety standards.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The active stretch fabric offers some flexibility, but if it feels too constricting, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit, especially if you prefer layering.

Anti-insect effectiveness seems reduced.

The anti-insect treatment may diminish over time with washing. Refer to product care instructions and consider re-applying a fabric-safe insect repellent treatment specifically designed for clothing, following the repellent's instructions.

Fabric is not drying as quickly as expected.

Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine and that excess water is spun out. Hang in a well-ventilated area. Excessive humidity can slow drying times.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent protection against both sun (UPF 50+) and insects.
  • Lightweight and quick-drying fabric enhances comfort during activity.
  • Active stretch material allows for a full range of motion.
  • Practical features like a sun shield collar and zipped pocket add utility.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding outdoor use.

Cons

  • May run small for those preferring a looser fit.
  • The anti-insect treatment's longevity may vary with washing.
  • Primarily designed for active use, not necessarily for casual fashion.
  • Limited color options compared to some other apparel brands.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This shirt requires no setup. It is compatible with standard outdoor and travel apparel. To maintain its performance, especially the anti-insect and UPF treatments, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with mild detergent.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry. Avoid direct high heat.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary. Do not iron directly over the printed areas or treatments.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Proper care will help preserve the fabric's integrity and the effectiveness of its protective treatments over time.
