FAQs
How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?
The NosiLife treatment is incorporated into the fabric and is designed to last for the expected lifetime of the garment, typically for the life of the fabric. Proper care, as per the instructions, will help maintain its effectiveness.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, the NosiLife Medina Cargo Shorts are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and moisture management, meaning they wick away sweat rather than repel water.
What is the leg length of these shorts?
The Medina Cargo Shorts have a 6" inseam (leg length).
Can I wear these in very hot and humid weather?
Yes, the moisture-control fabric is designed to help keep you cool and dry, making them suitable for hot and humid conditions.
How should I clean the shorts to maintain their properties?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and do not dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting.
What is the primary benefit of the NosiLife fabric?
The NosiLife fabric provides built-in, long-lasting protection against a wide range of biting insects and also offers UPF 40+ sun protection.
Do the cargo pockets add significant bulk?
The cargo pockets are designed to be relatively streamlined, but like all cargo pockets, they can add some visual bulk when filled. Their placement is intended for practical access.
Troubleshooting
Reduced insect repellent effectiveness
NosiLife treatment can diminish over many washes. Ensure you are following care instructions carefully. For severe reduction, consider reapplying a fabric-safe insect repellent suitable for clothing.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with technical fabrics. Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or fabric softeners that might affect the fabric's properties. A gentle tumble dry on low heat can help restore softness.
Belt adjustment is difficult
Ensure the buckle is clear of debris. If it feels particularly stiff, gently work it back and forth. If the issue persists, check for any defects in the belt or buckle mechanism.
