Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Anti-Insect Travel Light Long Sleeved Shirt is designed for adult women seeking protection during warm-weather hikes and travel. Its key benefit is the built-in Anti-Insect treatment combined with UPF 50+ sun protection, offering a dual defense against biting insects and harmful UV rays. A potential consideration is that the fabric, while quick-drying, is primarily polyester, which may offer less breathability than natural fibers in extremely high humidity. Key features include a sun-shield collar, roll-up sleeves, a zipped chest pocket, and lightweight, stretch fabric for active comfort.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the Anti-Insect treatment last?

The Anti-Insect treatment is designed to remain effective for a specific number of washes, typically around 20-30 washes for many treatments. Please refer to the garment's care label or product information for precise details.

Is the Anti-Insect treatment safe for skin?

Yes, the Anti-Insect treatment is incorporated into the fabric and is designed to be safe for skin contact. It works by creating a barrier that repels insects rather than killing them.

Can I wear this shirt in cold weather?

This shirt is designed for warm-weather protection. While it can be used as a base layer in cooler conditions, its primary features (lightweight, quick-dry, insect/sun protection) are optimized for warmer climates.

How do I wash the shirt to preserve its features?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat for drying or ironing. Gentle care helps maintain the fabric's properties and the effectiveness of the treatments.

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, offering excellent sun protection.

Can the sun-shield collar be folded down?

Yes, the sun-shield collar is designed to be worn up for maximum protection or folded down when not needed.

Is the zipped chest pocket waterproof?

The zipped chest pocket is designed for general storage and is not guaranteed to be waterproof. It offers protection from light splashes but should not be relied upon to keep contents dry in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced.

The Anti-Insect treatment is designed to last for a specified number of washes (check product tag for details). If effectiveness is reduced, consider reapplying an EPA-approved insect repellent designed for clothing, following product instructions.

Shirt feels damp after strenuous activity.

While the fabric is quick-drying, intense activity in high humidity can saturate it. Ensure proper ventilation by unzipping or rolling up sleeves. Allow ample time for air drying after washing.

Sizing feels incorrect.

Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for women's apparel. Measure your chest and waist and compare with the chart. If between sizes, consider the intended fit (e.g., for layering) and personal preference.
