FAQs
How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?
The NosiLife insect repellent is built into the fabric and is designed to last for the expected lifetime of the garment, provided it is cared for according to the washing instructions.
Is this shirt suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the shirt features moisture-wicking fabric and a wicking mesh cooling inner collar to help keep you comfortable in hot conditions.
What is UPF50+ protection?
UPF50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, offering excellent sun protection for your skin.
Can I wear this shirt in areas with a high risk of insect-borne diseases?
While the NosiLife technology helps repel insects, it is not a substitute for other protective measures. Always follow local health advisories regarding insect-borne diseases.
How should I wash this shirt to maintain its properties?
Machine wash on a 30-degree cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach, dry cleaning, and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What is the purpose of the modesty button?
The modesty button is designed to secure the fabric at the bust line, preventing unintended gaping and ensuring a more modest and comfortable fit.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the shirt is made with moisture-control fabric and features a wicking mesh inner collar for enhanced breathability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels damp after activity.
Ensure the garment is not overly saturated. While moisture-wicking, extreme exertion in high humidity can still lead to a feeling of dampness. Allow for natural evaporation or use a fan.
Insect repellent effect seems diminished.
The NosiLife treatment is permanent but can be compromised by harsh chemicals or excessive washing with strong detergents. Follow care instructions carefully. Avoid using fabric softeners. The effectiveness is for repelling insects, not killing them.
Gapping at the bust area.
Utilize the integrated modesty button to secure the fabric and prevent unwanted gaping. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal fit.
