FAQs

How long does the insect repellent treatment last?

The NosiLife treatment is designed to last for the expected lifetime of the garment, generally many washes, provided care instructions are followed. It is integrated into the fabric itself.

Does the SolarShield+ protection wash out?

No, the SolarShield+ technology is built into the fabric and is designed to remain effective throughout the life of the garment, even after multiple washes.

Can I wear this t-shirt in very hot and humid conditions?

Yes, the lightweight, moisture-wicking, and breathable fabric is specifically designed for comfort in warm and humid weather.

Is the fabric treated with chemicals for insect repellency?

Yes, the NosiLife technology uses an embedded, odorless permethrin-based treatment that is safe for humans but highly effective against biting insects.

What is the UPF rating of this t-shirt?

The t-shirt offers UPF 50+ protection, blocking 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

How should I clean the t-shirt to maintain its features?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, wash with similar colors, and avoid fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What does 'moisture-wicking' mean in this context?

Moisture-wicking means the fabric is designed to pull sweat away from your skin and help it evaporate quickly, keeping you drier and more comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Reduced insect repellency over time.

Ensure you are following the washing instructions precisely, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. The treatment is designed for longevity but can be affected by harsh cleaning agents.

Shirt feels less breathable than expected.

Check that the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede fabric performance. Ensure it is not overly stretched, which can affect moisture-wicking properties.

Discoloration after washing.

Wash with similar colors and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use only mild detergents.
