Effectively moves moisture away from the skin, keeping you cool and comfortable when on the move in hot climates.

Odour elimination technology captures and neutralises body odours during wear so the garment stays fresher for longer.

The new NosiLife technology contains an active ingredient that repels insects, reducing the possibility of being bitten. The additional odour elimination technology captures and neutralises body odours during wear, so the garment stays fresher for longer. Both technologies are derived from a plant-based source.

The active ingredients are applied using our unique application process designed specifically to ensure the treatment lasts the lifetime of the garment. Eucalyptus Citriodora Oil is the active repellent ingredient in NosiLife clothing. The active ingredient is approved by the European Biocides Product Regulation (BPR) 528/2012/EU.

The technology is currently ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals) level 1 certified and working towards level 3 approval. The system is plant based, and waste treatment solution can go directly to the water treatment plant of the textile mill before re-use or discharge.

We have rigorously tested the insect repellent and odour elimination effects using third-party specialist entomology facilities and analytical companies. All insect repellency test methods are based on World Health Organisation recommendations, and all testing facilities follow GLP - good laboratory practices protocols.

NosiLife technology repels the following insects; Mosquitos, Midges, Fleas, Fruit flies, Dust mites, Ticks,* Red ants.

*The technology is an effective repellent to ticks, the fabric is tested by an independent 3rd party testing facility. Due to the insects nature, it is essential to cover any exposed skin with insect repellent clothing or lotion and ensure that the ends of trousers are tucked into NosiLife socks and all other openings are closed. Whilst NosiLife does reduce the chance of being bitten, you still have to ensure that all uncovered skin is treated with an insect repellent lotion or spray.

Where there are wet and humid conditions there are biting insects - they thrive in the Jungle environment. Although it’s hot and humid, it’s important to stay covered, long sleeve shirts like our men’s and women’s Adventure shirt, will keep bugs at bay. It’s lightweight and moisture wicking and has built in odour-elimination, meaning you’ll feel fresh whilst exploring.
