Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Anti-Insect Travel Light shirt is designed for adult males seeking protection during outdoor activities like trekking and travel. Its key benefit is offering defense against biting insects and harmful UV rays, alongside comfort through its lightweight and quick-drying fabric. A potential consideration is its specific focus on insect and UV protection, which might be less relevant for users not engaged in such activities. Key features include ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, UPF 50+ sun protection, and an integrated anti-insect treatment.

FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The duration of the anti-insect treatment depends on the frequency of washing and wear. Typically, it remains effective for a significant number of washes when care instructions are followed. Performance may gradually decrease over time.

Can I wear this shirt in very hot weather?

Yes, the shirt is lightweight and quick-drying, making it suitable for hot weather. However, the polyester blend may feel warmer than natural fibers in extreme, humid heat. Ensure adequate hydration.

How do I wash the shirt to preserve its features?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UV radiation when worn, offering excellent sun protection.

Is the anti-insect treatment safe for skin contact?

The treatment is designed to be safe for skin contact according to industry standards. However, if you experience any skin irritation, discontinue use and consult a medical professional.

Can I reapply the anti-insect treatment myself?

While some outdoor gear treatments are field-reapplyable, it's best to check with Regatta for specific recommendations on reapplying the anti-insect finish to this garment. Improper application could damage the fabric or reduce effectiveness.

What is the purpose of the drying loop?

The drying loop is a small fabric loop attached to the inside of the shirt, typically near the neck or hem. It allows you to hang the shirt on a hook or line for quick drying, especially useful when traveling or after washing.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The ISOFLEX active stretch fabric is designed for freedom of movement, so significant restriction may indicate an incorrect fit.

Insect bites are still occurring

Verify that the anti-insect treatment is still effective. Over time and with numerous washes, its potency can decrease. Follow care instructions to maximize its lifespan. Consider reapplication if available from the manufacturer or specialized outdoor gear suppliers.

Shirt is slow to dry

Ensure the shirt is not overloaded during washing and that excess water is spun out. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect drying times. Always dry on a low heat setting or in a well-ventilated area.

Sunburn through the fabric

While the shirt offers UPF 50+ protection, prolonged direct exposure, especially in high-UV environments, can still pose a risk. Ensure the collar is up and consider additional sun protection for exposed skin if needed.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.

  5. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary, avoiding direct contact with the printed areas.
