FAQs

What is NosiLife technology?

NosiLife is Craghoppers' permanent insect-repellent fabric technology, designed to protect against bites and associated pathogens. It is incorporated into the fabric itself and is wash-and-wear durable.

How effective is the UPF50+ sun protection?

UPF50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection for skin when worn.

Can I wear this top in cool weather?

While designed for hot climates, it can be worn as a base layer in cooler conditions. However, its primary features are optimized for warmth and sun protection.

How do I wash the NosiLife Solar Shield+ Top?

It is machine washable. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Wash on a cool or warm cycle and tumble dry on low or line dry. Refer to the garment's care label for specific instructions.

Is the insect repellent safe for skin?

Yes, NosiLife technology is permanently bonded to the fabric and is safe for skin contact. It is odorless and effective.

What is the UV reactive print?

The UV reactive print is a design element on the sleeve that subtly changes its appearance when exposed to UV light, offering a unique visual indicator of sun exposure.

What is the material made of?

The top is made from 100% recycled polyester, featuring a grid-textured jersey fabric.

Troubleshooting

Top feels less breathable than expected

Ensure the garment is clean. Fabric softeners or residues can impede breathability. Wash with a mild detergent without softener. Check for any lint buildup in the fabric texture.

Insect repellent seems less effective

The NosiLife treatment is permanent, but its perceived effectiveness can be influenced by environmental factors. Ensure the garment is washed according to instructions, as improper washing can affect performance. If the issue persists after many washes, consider complementary protection methods.

Fabric has lost its quick-drying property

This is often due to residue buildup. Try a gentle wash cycle with a small amount of detergent and no fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly. Avoid high heat drying if possible, as it can sometimes set residues.
