Is the recycled material as durable as virgin material?
Modern recycling processes ensure that recycled materials maintain high durability and performance standards comparable to virgin materials.

Troubleshooting
Insect repellent properties seem reduced.
The NosiDefence treatment may need reapplication after extensive use and washing. Consult specific product guidelines for re-treatment.
Shirt feels warm in high humidity.
While designed for breathability, extremely high humidity can still feel warm. Utilize the roll-up sleeves and consider layering with lighter, moisture-wicking base layers.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble drying on low heat can help restore softness.
