Full details
This Craghoppers NosiLife Nour Long Sleeved T-Shirt is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and protective activewear, especially in warm climates. Its key benefit is the integrated NosiLife insect-repellent and odour-elimination technology within a quick-drying fabric, making it an ideal base layer.

FAQs
How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?
The NosiLife treatment is designed to be durable and remain effective for the expected lifetime of the garment, typically lasting through many washes when cared for correctly. Specific duration can vary based on usage and care.
Is this t-shirt suitable for very hot and humid weather?
Yes, the moisture-control fabric is designed to wick sweat away from the skin, and the quick-drying nature helps keep you comfortable. The NosiLife technology also provides protection without adding bulk.
What type of insects does NosiLife repel?
NosiLife technology is effective against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, and midges.
Can I wear this as a base layer under other clothing?
Absolutely. Its lightweight, moisture-wicking, and stretch properties make it an excellent base layer for cooler conditions or as standalone protection in warmer climates.
Does the fabric have any smell?
The fabric incorporates odour-elimination technology to help minimize smells, making it ideal for extended wear. It does not have a strong inherent smell from the treatment itself.
What does 'Duke of Edinburgh approved kit' mean?
It signifies that the product meets the standards and requirements for gear used in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award program, suggesting reliability and suitability for challenging outdoor activities.
Is the insect repellent safe for sensitive skin?
NosiLife is integrated into the fabric and is designed to be safe for skin contact. However, as with any product, if you have particularly sensitive skin, it's always advisable to test a small area first.
Troubleshooting
Insect repellent seems less effective
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. While NosiLife is durable, repeated harsh washing or exposure to high heat can diminish its effectiveness over extended periods. Re-evaluate the product's lifespan if the issue persists after proper care.
T-shirt feels damp after activity
Check if the moisture-wicking properties are compromised by heavy detergent buildup. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the fabric is not overloaded in the washing machine to allow for proper rinsing and wicking.
Odour persists after washing
Ensure the garment is washed thoroughly with a suitable detergent. Sometimes, excessive build-up requires a second rinse cycle. Airing the garment out in sunlight can also help refresh the fabric.
