FAQs
How effective is the mosquito repellent?
The shirt is treated with a special coating that repels mosquitoes. While effective for general comfort, it is not a substitute for personal insect repellent in heavily infested areas.
What does UV40+ protection mean?
UV40+ protection means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of harmful UV radiation. This helps shield your skin from sun damage during prolonged exposure.
Can I wear this polo shirt in the rain?
The quick-drying technology means it will dry rapidly if it gets wet from light rain or sweat. However, it is not waterproof and will not keep you dry in heavy downpours.
Is the mosquito repellent safe?
The repellent finish is applied during the manufacturing process. Specific safety data would be available from the manufacturer, but it is designed for clothing use.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer or manufacturer. The 'XS' size typically refers to Extra Small, designed for a snugger fit.
Can the mosquito repellent be washed out?
The repellent treatment is designed to last for a significant number of washes. However, harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and excessive heat during washing or drying can reduce its longevity.
What is the material of the shirt?
The Bonington polo shirt is typically made from polyester, known for its durability, quick-drying properties, and resistance to stretching and shrinking.
Troubleshooting
Mosquito repellent effectiveness seems reduced.
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impair the repellent treatment. Consider a gentle wash cycle and air drying to preserve the finish.
Shirt feels damp after activity.
While designed for quick drying, vigorous activity in high humidity might exceed the fabric's immediate evaporation rate. Allow additional time for drying or ensure good air circulation.
UV protection is not as expected.
The UV protection is inherent to the fabric and treatment. If the fabric is stretched significantly or becomes very worn, protection might theoretically decrease. Ensure the garment fits properly and is not overly stretched.
Colour fading after washing.
Wash inside out in cold water and use a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight during drying, opting for shade or a low tumble dry setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Trespass Bonington Polo Shirt requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This polo shirt is designed for adult males. It is suitable for a wide range of casual and outdoor activities. Its material, polyester, is generally compatible with various types of outerwear.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C). Wash with similar colours.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Due to its quick-drying nature, line drying is often fastest.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
- Repellent Maintenance: To maintain the mosquito-repellent finish, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. It is recommended to wash the garment separately for the first few washes to prevent any potential transfer of the treatment.
