FAQs

How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?

The NosiLife treatment is permanent and designed to last for the expected lifetime of the garment without needing any reapplication.

Will the UPF50+ protection wash out?

No, the UPF50+ sun protection is an inherent property of the fabric and will not wash out over time.

Can I use fabric softener with this shirt?

It is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can interfere with the technical properties of the fabric, including the NosiLife treatment and moisture-wicking capabilities.

Is the insect repellent safe for skin contact?

Yes, the NosiLife technology is odorless and imperceptible, designed for safe and continuous wear against the skin.

What kind of insects does NosiLife protect against?

NosiLife is effective against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, and midges.

How should I store the shirt when not in use?

Store the shirt in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or odors.

What is the main advantage of the nylon material?

Nylon is chosen for its lightweight properties, durability, and excellent quick-drying capabilities, which are ideal for travel and active outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent seems less effective over time.

The NosiLife treatment is permanent and does not need reapplication. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt or residue can sometimes interfere with fabric performance. Check for any significant physical damage to the fabric.

Shirt feels stiff after washing.

This can sometimes occur with technical fabrics. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. A cool iron may help restore some softness.

Slow to dry after washing.

While designed to be quick-drying, very humid conditions or excessive water retention can slow the process. Ensure the garment is spun adequately before line drying. Avoid direct high heat which can damage nylon.
