FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The duration of the anti-insect treatment is typically rated for a specific number of washes. Please refer to the product's care label or manufacturer's website for the exact wash count.

Is this shirt suitable for very hot and humid weather?

Yes, the shirt is lightweight and quick-drying, making it suitable for warm and humid conditions where insect and sun protection are needed. However, in extreme heat, breathability might be a factor depending on individual tolerance.

Can I wear this shirt in cold weather?

This shirt is designed for warmer conditions. For cold weather, it would serve best as a base layer if layering is required, but it does not offer significant insulation on its own.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection.

How should I wash the shirt to maintain its properties?

Machine wash with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes interfere with the fabric's technical properties like wicking and breathability.

What is the material of the shirt?

The shirt is made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, which is primarily 96% polyester and 4% elastane.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent effect seems reduced.

The anti-insect treatment has a limited lifespan based on washes. Consider reapplying a compatible insect repellent spray if needed, following product instructions, or check if the garment requires a specific re-treatment.

Shirt feels damp after activity.

While designed to be quick-drying, significant exertion can lead to moisture buildup. Ensure the garment is not overly layered and allow for airflow. Proper washing can help maintain fabric's moisture-wicking properties.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a tiny bit of wax can help lubricate the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
