FAQs
How effective is the Nosi Defence treatment?
Nosi Defence is designed to provide an effective barrier against insects. Its longevity is typically maintained through proper washing and care as per the garment's label.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays. This offers substantial protection for your skin.
Can I wear this shirt in wet conditions?
While the polycotton blend offers some breathability, it is not waterproof. It is best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be recommended.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the product's size guide, which provides chest measurements for each size (e.g., L: 43 in.). Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the guide for the best fit.
Is the anti-insect treatment safe for skin?
Yes, the Nosi Defence treatment is designed to be odorless and safe for skin contact.
What is the benefit of the recycled materials?
Using recycled polyester and cotton reduces the environmental impact by diverting waste from landfills and lowering the demand for virgin resources.
Can the roll-up sleeves stay up easily?
Yes, the shirt is equipped with button tabs designed to secure the rolled-up sleeves in place, providing convenience and ventilation.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels too loose
The shirt is designed with a relaxed fit. For a closer fit, consider rolling up sleeves and tucking the shirt in, or explore other fitted styles if this is a primary concern.
Reduced effectiveness of anti-insect treatment after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially avoiding fabric softeners and using a low heat for tumble drying. Re-washing with a mild detergent might help restore some properties if fabric softener was accidentally used.
Stitching feels stiff
This can sometimes occur with new garments. Washing the shirt according to the care instructions should help soften the fabric and stitching over time.
