FAQs

How does the anti-insect treatment work?

The treatment is integrated into the fabric fibers, providing a protective barrier that repels biting insects like mosquitoes and midges. It is designed to be safe for wear.

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The duration of the anti-insect treatment depends on the number of washes. Please refer to the product's care label for specific details on its expected lifespan.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This tee is designed for warm weather due to its lightweight and breathable nature. For colder conditions, it can be used as a base layer, but it does not provide significant insulation on its own.

Is the anti-insect treatment safe for sensitive skin?

The treatment is designed to be safe for wear. However, individuals with highly sensitive skin should always monitor their reaction to new garments. It is not a substitute for personal insect repellent if you are prone to reactions.

What is the GSM of the fabric?

The fabric is 90gsm (grams per square meter), indicating it is lightweight.

How should I clean the tee to maintain its features?

Machine wash gently with mild detergent, inside out, in cool water (max 30°C). Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What activities is this tee best suited for?

It is ideal for warm-weather outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, trekking, and general trail use where insect protection and comfort are priorities.

Troubleshooting

Tee feels damp or heavy after activity.

Ensure you are wearing an appropriate base layer if needed, and allow the garment to air dry fully. The moisture-wicking properties are most effective when allowing for airflow.

Insect bites are still occurring.

Check the care label for the number of washes. The anti-insect treatment may have diminished over time. Consider reapplying an insect repellent suitable for skin use, avoiding direct saturation of the garment.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners. Air drying is preferred. If stiffness persists, a very low heat tumble dry might help, but check the care label.

Reduced breathability.

Ensure the mesh fabric is not clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash gently according to care instructions.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Wash inside out to protect the anti-insect treatment.
  • Temperature: Use cool or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C).
  • Drying: Air dry is recommended. Tumble dry on low heat if necessary, but avoid high heat which can degrade the treatment.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Chemicals: Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and reduce the effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment.
  • Repellency: The anti-insect treatment is designed to last for a specified number of washes (refer to product label for details). Reapplication of insect repellent sprays is possible, but direct application onto the treated fabric is not recommended.
