Troubleshooting
Insect repellent effect seems reduced.
The NosiLife treatment is designed to last. Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions, avoiding fabric conditioners. The treatment is typically effective for up to 100 washes.
Trousers feel less breathable than expected.
While designed for hot climates, extreme humidity can affect breathability. Ensure the fit is not too tight to allow for air circulation. Natural fiber alternatives may offer higher breathability in certain conditions.
Pilling or wear after several uses.
Inspect the garment for snags or excessive abrasion. While durable, extreme wear in rough environments can cause damage. Follow washing instructions carefully to maintain fabric integrity.
