Product Information

Full details

Designed for adult males seeking practical outdoor wear, the Craghoppers Younes Nosilife Jacket offers superior protection and comfort with its lightweight, stretchable, and quick-dry fabric. Its key benefit lies in its integrated UPF 50+ sun protection and Nosilife insect repellent technology. A potential caveat is its plain finish, which might not appeal to those seeking highly stylized outerwear. This jacket features a regular fit, a hooded neckline with a concealed hood, and a press-stud fastening, along with multiple storage options including side, chest, and security pockets.

FAQs

What is Nosilife technology?

Nosilife is Craghoppers' permanent insect repellent treatment woven into the fabric. It provides effective protection against biting insects such as mosquitoes, midges, and ticks without the need for topical application.

How long does the insect repellent last?

The Nosilife treatment is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, providing protection for up to 20 washes. Proper care will help maintain its efficacy.

Is the hood waterproof?

The jacket is designed for sun and insect protection and is not fully waterproof. The concealed hood offers coverage but is not intended for heavy rain.

What is the UPF rating?

The jacket has a UPF 50+ rating, providing excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This jacket is lightweight and designed primarily for protection against sun and insects. It is not insulated and is best suited for warmer conditions or as a layering piece in cooler weather.

What materials is the jacket made from?

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 quick-drying properties.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a total of five pockets: two side pockets, two chest pockets, and one internal security pocket.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced.

The Nosilife treatment is designed to last for approximately 20 washes. If the garment has been washed more than this, the effectiveness may decrease. Consult product care guidelines for optimal longevity.

Jacket feels damp after activity.

While the fabric is moisture-wicking, prolonged intense activity can exceed its capacity. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, which can impede airflow. Check that the garment is clean, as dirt or residue can affect wicking properties.

Concealed hood is difficult to store.

Ensure the hood is completely dry before attempting to fold and store it in its compartment. Fold it neatly before zipping or securing it to prevent bulkiness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent protection against UV rays and insects.
  • Lightweight and comfortable due to stretch fabric.
  • Quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties enhance comfort.
  • Multiple pockets provide ample and secure storage.
  • Easy-care fabric requires minimal maintenance.

Cons

  • Plain design may be too basic for some users.
  • Press-stud fastening is straightforward but less secure than zippers for some applications.
  • Material blend might not be as durable as heavier-duty alternatives for extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure the hood is properly secured in its concealed compartment if not in use.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Pairs well with casual and outdoor apparel. Its design is versatile for various activities, from light trekking to everyday wear.

Care: To maintain the effectiveness of the Nosilife and Solarshield technologies, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's performance properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
  • Repellency: The insect repellent properties are designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, typically around 20 washes.
