Its key benefit is offering comprehensive protection and comfort through advanced fabric technology, including insect repellency and UV protection.

This jacket features a lightweight, stretch construction for ease of movement, multiple pockets for storage, and a concealed hood for versatility. The NosiLife fabric ensures insect repellency, odour control, moisture-wicking, and quick-dry properties, while SolarShield provides UPF 50+ sun protection.

FAQs

How effective is the NosiLife insect repellent?

NosiLife is a permanent treatment integrated into the fabric, providing effective protection against insects without the need for topical applications. It is designed to last the lifetime of the garment.

What is the UPF rating and what does it mean?

The UPF 50+ rating from SolarShield means the jacket offers excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It blocks over 98% of UV rays, significantly reducing sun exposure risk.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is concealed and can be rolled up and secured within the collar. It is not designed to be fully removed.

Can I wear this jacket in the rain?

The jacket is primarily designed for sun and insect protection and features moisture-wicking capabilities. It is not waterproof and will not provide significant protection against heavy rain.

What is the main material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from a blend of 55% Recycled Nylon Polyamide, 40% Nylon Polyamide, and 5% Elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.

How do I wash and care for the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C using mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Use a cool iron. Do not dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.

What are the chest measurements for an XL size?

An XL size in this jacket corresponds to a chest measurement of 56 inches.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you have not used fabric softener, as this can affect the fabric's properties. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry and the fabric should regain its natural feel.

Insect repellent properties seem less effective.

The NosiLife treatment is permanent, but effectiveness can be maintained by proper washing. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat. Ensure the garment is clean and dry.

Poor fit or discomfort.

Verify that you have selected the correct size based on the provided sizing chart (XL corresponds to a 56-inch chest). The regular fit is designed for comfort; consider layering for a different silhouette.
