Safari Clothing

A safari outfit has a few jobs to do: keep the sun off through the middle of the day, help with biting insects at dawn and dusk, and stay comfortable on long drives. Everything here has NosiLife insect repellent built into the fabric for the life of the garment.

Safari shirts. The NosiLife Adventure III is light ripstop with a vented back, a flip-up collar and roll-up sleeves. The NosiLife Pro is a stretch shirt with a cover-up collar. Both are UPF 50+, for men and women.

Safari pants. The NosiLife Pro Trousers III are slim stretch pants with a zip security pocket and an RFID-blocking card pocket. The Pro Convertible and the 10-pocket Convertible Cargo III zip off into shorts for the hottest part of the day. See all convertible pants.

Hats. The Outback Hat II has a broad brim and a chin cord; the Desert Hat III adds a neck flap that rolls away. Both are UPF 50+. See all sun hats.

Socks. NosiLife Adventure Socks have mesh venting and cushioning, with repellent built in.

Putting it together. A long sleeve shirt, full-length or convertible pants, a hat and socks covers most skin. Pick Adventure for pockets and airflow, Pro for stretch.
