FAQs

What is the main benefit of the NosiLife technology?

NosiLife technology provides built-in, long-lasting protection against biting insects like mosquitoes, ticks, and midges, helping to prevent bites and potential insect-borne diseases.

How does SolarShield+ differ from regular sun protection?

SolarShield+ offers a high level of UPF 50+ protection, blocking 98% of UVA and UVB rays. This protection is permanent and effective even when the fabric is wet.

Is the insect repellent treatment safe?

Yes, the NosiLife treatment is odorless, effective, and designed to be safe for prolonged skin contact. It is permanently bonded to the fabric.

What does 'moisture-wicking' mean for this t-shirt?

Moisture-wicking fabric pulls perspiration away from your skin and allows it to evaporate quickly, helping to keep you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

Can I wear this t-shirt in very hot weather?

Yes, the lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking fabric makes it suitable for hot weather. The UV protection also helps shield your skin.

How should I wash this t-shirt to preserve its features?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Washing and ironing inside out is recommended.

What is the back length of the t-shirt?

The back length is approximately 28 inches.

Is the fabric made from recycled materials?

Yes, the main fabric of this t-shirt is made from 100% recycled polyester.

Troubleshooting

T-shirt feels less effective against insects after many washes

The NosiLife treatment is designed to be durable for the lifetime of the garment (typically up to 90 washes). If you notice a significant reduction, ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Machine washing and tumble drying on low heat helps maintain the treatment.

Sun protection seems reduced

The SolarShield+ UPF 50+ rating is inherent to the fabric. Ensure the garment is not overly stretched or worn thin, as this can compromise protection. Always check care labels to confirm washing method.

Fabric feels stiff or less comfortable

Initial washes can sometimes make the fabric feel slightly different. Follow the care instructions, especially regarding ironing on a low setting inside out, which can help soften the material.
