FAQs
What is UPF 50+?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection.
How does NosiLife technology work?
NosiLife is an integrated insect repellent technology that is permanently bonded to the fabric, providing protection against biting insects for the lifetime of the garment.
Is the insect repellent safe for skin contact?
Yes, NosiLife technology is designed to be safe for human contact and is odorless.
Can I wear this top in very hot weather?
Yes, the moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties are designed to keep you comfortable in hot climates. However, personal comfort levels with polyester fabric can vary.
How should I wash this top to maintain its properties?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print directly.
What does 'easy care' mean for this product?
'Easy care' means the fabric is wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying, and requires minimal ironing, making it convenient for travel.
Is the entire top made from recycled polyester?
Yes, the main fabric of this top is made from 100% recycled polyester.
Troubleshooting
Reduced insect repellency over time.
Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can strip the NosiLife treatment. Reapplication is generally not needed as the treatment is bonded to the fabric.
Fabric feels clammy or not wicking moisture effectively.
Check that the garment is not too tight, which can impede airflow. Ensure you are not wearing non-wicking base layers underneath. Wash the garment to remove any residues that might be blocking the fabric's pores.
UV reactive print is not visible.
The UV reactive print only becomes visible under direct UV light (sunlight). Ensure you are in direct sunlight for the effect to be noticeable. It is a subtle design feature and may not be highly prominent.
