Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?

The NosiLife insect repellent treatment is durable and designed to last for the expected lifetime of the garment, typically lasting for many washes when cared for according to instructions. It is integrated into the fabric, not a surface spray.

Is the fabric waterproof?

No, the fabric is not waterproof. It is designed to be lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying, not to provide a barrier against rain.

Can I wear this t-shirt in cold weather?

While it provides UV protection, it is a lightweight base layer. For cold weather, it would need to be layered with warmer garments. Its primary function is sun and insect protection in warmer conditions.

Does the NosiLife treatment affect the feel of the fabric?

No, the NosiLife treatment is incorporated into the fabric's fibers during manufacturing, so it does not alter the feel or texture of the fabric, which remains soft and comfortable.

What does UPF50+ mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF50+ means that the fabric will block at least 98% of UVA and UVB radiation when worn.

Is the odour elimination permanent?

The odour elimination technology is designed to be long-lasting and is effective for the life of the garment, provided it is maintained according to the care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impede its performance.

Can the insect repellent treatment be washed off?

The NosiLife treatment is permanently bonded to the fabric fibers and will not wash out under normal washing conditions. However, harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners can degrade the fabric and reduce the effectiveness of treatments over time.

Troubleshooting

Reduced insect repellency

Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. The NosiLife treatment is designed for long-term durability but may gradually reduce effectiveness with extreme wear and washing.

Moisture not wicking effectively

Check that the fabric is not clogged with dirt or residue from detergents. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the garment is not overly saturated with sweat, which can exceed its wicking capacity.

Odor elimination seems less effective

Wash the garment as per instructions using a mild detergent. Avoid storing the garment damp, as this can encourage bacterial growth. Persistent odors may indicate a need for a more thorough wash or that the treatment has reached the end of its effective lifespan.

Sun protection feels reduced

The SolarShield+ UPF50+ rating is inherent to the fabric's construction. If the fabric is heavily worn, faded, or damaged, its protective qualities may be diminished. Inspect for significant wear and tear.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the NosiLife treatment and fabric performance.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry in the shade. Do not iron directly on printed areas. Avoid dry cleaning.
  • Treatment Maintenance: For optimal performance of the NosiLife insect repellent and odour elimination, it is recommended to follow the washing instructions carefully and avoid using harsh detergents or excessive heat.
