FAQs
How long does the Nosilife insect repellent last?
The Nosilife treatment is incorporated into the fabric and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, provided it is cared for according to the washing instructions. It is not a topical treatment that washes off easily.
What is the UPF rating of this top?
This top has a SolarShield+ UPF 40+ rating, providing excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
This top is designed primarily for warmer conditions or as a layer in cooler weather. Its lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric makes it suitable for active use, but it does not provide significant insulation on its own.
Is the garment suitable for sensitive skin?
The fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester and is treated with Nosilife and SolarShield+ technologies. While generally well-tolerated, individuals with extremely sensitive skin may wish to consult the material composition and consider a patch test.
How do I find the correct size?
Please refer to the 'Size Guide' section within the product description. Measure your bust circumference and compare it to the UK sizing chart provided. For example, a UK size 10 corresponds to a 35-inch bust.
Can the insect repellent be washed out?
The Nosilife treatment is permanently bonded to the fabric fibers. While it is very durable, using fabric softeners or harsh detergents can potentially reduce its effectiveness over time. Always follow the care label instructions.
What does 'moisture-wicking' mean?
Moisture-wicking fabric draws sweat away from your skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate more quickly. This helps to keep you feeling dry and comfortable during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Insect repellent properties seem reduced.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents, as these can degrade the repellent treatment. The treatment is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment under normal use and care.
Garment feels less breathable or moisture-wicking.
Check the garment for any build-up of dirt, sweat, or detergent residue. Wash according to care instructions, using a mild detergent without fabric softener. Ensure the garment is fully rinsed.
Sun protection seems less effective.
The SolarShield+ UPF 40+ rating is inherent to the fabric's weave and composition. Ensure the fabric is not overly stretched or worn thin, which could reduce its protective qualities. If the fabric is damaged, its protective properties may be compromised.
Fit is not as expected.
Refer to the detailed size guide provided. Measure your bust and compare it to the UK sizing chart. Note that the fit may vary slightly based on individual body shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. There is no setup required. Simply unpack and wear.
Compatibility: This top is designed for adult women and pairs well with outdoor trousers, shorts, or leggings. It functions as a base layer or a standalone top in suitable weather conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's technical properties (like moisture-wicking and insect repellency).
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct high heat or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, as this can degrade the fabric's performance over time.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Avoid ironing directly over any printed logos or technical fabric treatments.
- Fabric Technology Maintenance: The Nosilife and SolarShield+ treatments are durable but can be gradually diminished with excessive washing or harsh detergents. Following the care instructions carefully will help preserve these features for the garment's lifespan.
