FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), offering excellent sun protection.
How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?
The NosiLife treatment is incorporated into the fabric's fibers and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, provided it is cared for according to the washing instructions.
Is the fabric suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the SolarShield+ jersey fabric is designed to be lightweight, moisture-wicking, and cooling, making it ideal for hot-climate conditions.
What is the difference between SolarShield+ and NosiLife?
SolarShield+ refers to the fabric's ability to provide UPF sun protection, while NosiLife refers to its insect-repellent properties.
Can I wear this t-shirt in the rain?
While the fabric is quick-drying, it is not waterproof. It is designed for protection against sun and insects, not rain.
What is the main fabric made of?
The main fabric is 100% recycled polyester.
How should I care for this garment to ensure longevity?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, use cool water, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals can affect treatment efficacy over time.
Shirt feels less breathable than expected
Check for any potential blockages or lint build-up within the fabric weave, though this is rare. Ensure the garment is not overly tight, which can restrict airflow. The fabric is designed for cooling, but extreme heat may still lead to perspiration.
UV protection seems diminished
The UPF rating is inherent to the fabric's construction and treatment. If the fabric appears significantly worn or damaged, its protective qualities may be reduced. Proper care is essential to maintain UPF rating.
Garment retains odour after washing
Ensure the washing machine is clean and that the garment is not overloaded. Use a mild detergent and consider an extra rinse cycle. Ensure the garment is fully dried, as moisture can contribute to odour.
