FAQs
What is NosiLife technology?
NosiLife is a permanent, built-in insect shield technology that provides excellent protection against biting insects. It is incorporated into the fabric itself and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment.
How effective is the UPF 50+ sun protection?
UPF 50+ offers excellent protection, blocking over 98% of harmful UV rays. This significantly reduces the risk of sun damage and sunburn.
Is the insect repellent safe for skin contact?
Yes, the NosiLife treatment is odourless, colourless, and has been shown to be non-toxic and safe for all ages. It is permanently bonded to the fabric.
Can I wear this jersey in warm weather?
Yes, the fabric is designed to be breathable and quick-drying, making it suitable for wear in warm conditions where sun and insect protection are needed.
What does 'dropped back hem' mean?
A dropped back hem means the back of the jersey is slightly longer than the front, providing extra coverage and a modern silhouette.
How long will the UV reactive print last?
The longevity of the UV reactive print depends on washing and wear. It is a stylistic feature and not critical to the garment's protective functions.
What is the garment's back length?
The back length of this jersey is approximately 28 inches.
Troubleshooting
Reduced insect repellent effectiveness
Ensure you are following the washing instructions precisely, avoiding fabric softeners and excessive heat. Effectiveness is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment under recommended care.
Fabric feels less soft after washing
Fabric softeners are not recommended as they can impact the treatment. The stretch grid jersey is designed for performance; a slight change in texture is normal.
UV reactive print not visible
The print is designed to react to UV light. Ensure you are in direct sunlight or under a strong UV source for the effect to be visible. It is a cosmetic feature.
