FAQs
How does the NosiLife insect repellent work?
NosiLife is a permanent treatment incorporated into the fabric fibers that provides an effective barrier against biting insects. It is odorless and designed to last for the expected life of the garment.
Is the sun protection permanent?
Yes, the UPF 50+ rating is inherent to the fabric construction and treatment and does not wash out over time.
Can I wear this top for everyday activities?
While designed for outdoor and travel, its comfort and protection features make it suitable for any occasion where sun and insect protection are desired. However, its specific design might be more geared towards active use.
What is the 'UV reactive print'?
The UV reactive print on the sleeve is a design element that becomes more visible or changes appearance when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, such as direct sunlight.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure yourself according to the instructions, paying attention to chest and waist measurements for tops.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the grid-textured jersey fabric is designed for breathability and moisture control, helping to keep you comfortable in warm conditions.
What is the center back length?
The center back length is 25.5 inches.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less soft after washing.
Avoid using fabric conditioner, as it can interfere with the garment's moisture-wicking and insect-repellent properties. Wash as per instructions.
Insect repellent effect seems reduced.
The NosiLife treatment is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment under normal wear and washing. Ensure proper care is followed. If issues persist after extensive use, the treatment may have naturally diminished.
Top feels warm on a very hot day.
While the fabric is moisture-wicking, it is still a long-sleeved garment. For extremely high temperatures, consider wearing it during cooler parts of the day or in shaded areas. Ensure adequate hydration.
