FAQs

What is Nosi Defence?

Nosi Defence is a technology integrated into the fabric that provides protection against biting insects, helping to prevent stings and bites.

How effective is the UPF 50+ sun protection?

UPF 50+ means the fabric will block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays, offering excellent protection against sun damage.

Can I wash the shirt in a washing machine?

Yes, the shirt can be machine washed at 30°C or lower on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and tumble drying on high heat.

What are the benefits of the recycled materials?

Using recycled polyester and cotton reduces reliance on virgin resources, lowers energy consumption during production, and minimizes waste, contributing to a more sustainable product.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided, which lists chest measurements for each size (S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 43 in, etc.). Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart. Remember, it has a relaxed fit.

Are the sleeves designed to stay rolled up?

Yes, the sleeves have a mechanism, typically a button and loop, to allow them to be rolled up and secured in place for increased ventilation.

What kind of activities is this shirt best suited for?

It is ideal for travel, hiking, camping, gardening, and any outdoor activity where protection from insects and the sun is desired, combined with comfort and durability.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels too loose or baggy.

Check the sizing chart against your measurements. The shirt has a relaxed fit; consider if a smaller size would be more appropriate, or pair with other garments that offer a more fitted silhouette.

Reduced effectiveness of insect repellent treatment.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat which can diminish the treatment. The treatment is designed to last for a significant period but may naturally wear down with extensive use and washing.

Sun protection feels insufficient.

While rated UPF 50+, ensure full coverage of exposed skin. The shirt is designed to block most harmful UV rays, but gaps or tightly stretched fabric can sometimes reduce protection. Always supplement with sunscreen on any exposed areas, especially during peak sun hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated anti-insect and UPF 50+ sun protection for enhanced comfort and safety outdoors.
  • Made with a significant portion of recycled materials, promoting sustainability.
  • Multiple secure and accessible pockets for convenient storage.
  • Versatile design with roll-up sleeves for adaptability to different weather conditions.
  • Durable polycotton fabric suitable for rugged use.

Cons

  • Relaxed fit might not appeal to those preferring a more tailored look.
  • The anti-insect treatment may require reapplication over time depending on care and use.
  • Polycotton blend might be warmer than pure synthetic materials in very high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No setup is required beyond ensuring it fits correctly.

Compatibility: The shirt is designed for adult use and pairs well with outdoor trousers, shorts, or base layers. Its neutral design makes it suitable for various activities, from hiking to casual travel.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C or lower on a gentle cycle.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid high temperatures.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Treatment Longevity: Follow washing instructions carefully to maintain the effectiveness of the Nosi Defence and Solarshield treatments. Harsh detergents or high heat can degrade these properties over time.
