FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing excellent sun protection.

How does the NosiLife technology work?

NosiLife technology incorporates an effective, long-lasting insect repellent and odor elimination treatment into the fabric fibers, which helps to deter biting insects and manage body odor.

Is the recycled polyester as durable as virgin polyester?

Yes, recycled polyester offers comparable durability and performance to virgin polyester while reducing environmental impact.

Can I wear this top in everyday situations, not just travel?

While designed for travel, the top's comfort, sun protection, and insect repellent features make it suitable for any outdoor activity where these benefits are desired, such as gardening or walking.

How long does the insect repellent treatment last?

The NosiLife treatment is engineered to be durable and last for the expected lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.

What is the center back length of the top?

The center back length is 25.5 inches.

Is the UV reactive print visible in normal light?

The UV reactive print is designed to be subtle and may only become clearly visible under UV light conditions, such as direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels damp after activity.

This indicates the moisture-wicking is working. The fabric is designed to pull moisture away from the skin to the outer surface, where it can evaporate. Allow time for evaporation or use a low heat tumble dry.

Insect repellent properties seem reduced.

The NosiLife treatment is integrated into the fabric fibers. While durable, it may decrease slightly over many washes. Ensure proper washing according to care instructions. The effect is designed to last for the garment's lifetime.

Garment shrinks after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying temperatures. Avoid high heat settings, as this can cause shrinkage. If shrinkage occurred, try stretching the garment gently while damp.
