FAQs

How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?

The NosiLife insect repellent is designed to remain effective for the expected lifetime of the garment when cared for according to the provided washing instructions. It is permanently bonded to the fabric.

Is the insect repellent safe for skin contact?

Yes, the NosiLife treatment is safe for direct skin contact and is odorless. It provides protection without being perceived by the wearer.

Can I wear this shirt in hot and humid weather?

Yes, the shirt is made with moisture-control and wicking fabric, and features a cooling mesh inner collar, making it suitable for hot and humid conditions.

What does UPF50+ mean?

UPF50+ indicates that the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays. This is crucial for preventing sunburn and long-term skin damage.

How should I wash this shirt to maintain its properties?

Wash at 30°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on low heat. Crucially, avoid fabric softeners and conditioners, as they can negatively impact the NosiLife treatment and moisture-wicking properties.

What is the modesty button for?

The modesty button is a small, discreet button designed to secure the neckline and prevent the shirt from gaping at the bust, ensuring a more comfortable and secure fit.

Is this shirt suitable for children?

This specific model is designed for adult women, indicated by the size (UK 8) and the 'Female' gender attribute. Craghoppers may offer other NosiLife products suitable for different age groups.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced.

Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions, without fabric softeners or conditioners, which can interfere with the NosiLife treatment. Avoid harsh detergents. The treatment is designed for the lifetime of the garment.

Shirt feels less breathable than expected.

Check that the moisture-wicking and cooling mesh collar are clean and unobstructed. Ensure the garment is not too tight, as this can affect airflow. Wash the shirt to remove any residues that might impede fabric performance.

Stitching or seams appear loose.

Inspect the garment for any damage. For minor issues, consider a professional repair. If the garment is within its warranty period, contact the retailer or manufacturer for options.
