Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Anti-Insect Travel Light Shirt is designed for adult males seeking protection during outdoor activities in warm, humid climates. Its key benefit is offering UPF 50+ sun protection and anti-insect treatment to defend against bites and UV rays, while remaining lightweight and quick-drying for comfort. A potential caveat is that the 'regular' fit may not suit all body types, and the checkered pattern might not appeal to everyone. Key features include ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, a sun shield collar, roll-up sleeves, and a zipped chest pocket.

FAQs
How effective is the anti-insect treatment?
The treatment is designed to provide defense against biting insects. Its effectiveness is maintained through proper care and washing. It offers a reliable layer of protection for outdoor activities.
What type of insects does the treatment protect against?
The treatment is generally effective against common biting insects found in warm, humid climates, such as mosquitoes and midges.
Is the UPF 50+ protection permanent?
The UPF 50+ rating refers to the fabric's inherent ability to block UV rays. While the fabric itself does not degrade, the effectiveness of any fabric-applied treatments can diminish over extended periods and with frequent washing. However, the base UPF protection of the polyester fabric remains significant.
Can this shirt be worn in cooler weather?
While primarily designed for warm conditions, the shirt can be worn as a layer in cooler weather over a thermal base layer. Its lightweight nature makes it suitable for active pursuits where body heat is generated.
How should I wash the shirt to maintain its features?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying or ironing. Air drying is recommended for longevity.
What is ISOFLEX active stretch fabric?
ISOFLEX is Regatta's proprietary fabric technology that combines polyester and elastane to create a material that is lightweight, durable, quick-drying, and offers significant stretch for freedom of movement.
Does the shirt have a specific fit?
The shirt has a 'Regular' fit, designed to be comfortable for most body types during active use. It is not intended to be a slim-fit or an oversized garment.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels damp after activity
Ensure the shirt is hung in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely. The quick-dry fabric should minimize this, but prolonged high exertion in very humid conditions can test its limits.
Insect repellent treatment seems less effective
Check washing labels and ensure no fabric softener was used. Harsh detergents or improper washing can degrade the treatment over time. Consider re-treating the garment if possible, following manufacturer guidelines for specific re-treatment products.
Stitching or seams appear loose
Inspect the garment for any signs of wear. Minor loose threads can often be trimmed carefully. For more significant seam issues, contact the retailer or manufacturer for warranty information.
Sun shield collar does not stay up
The collar is designed to fold down for comfort. If it doesn't hold its shape when intended to be up, ensure it is properly positioned and creased. The fabric's inherent structure should maintain its form.
