Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Women's NosiLife Pro Cargo Skort is designed for adult women seeking a practical and comfortable alternative to traditional trousers during active pursuits. Its key benefit is providing unrestricted movement with integrated insect repellent and odor-elimination technology. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it may not offer the same level of protection as dedicated hiking trousers in extreme conditions. This hybrid garment features a stretch skirt outer layer over comfortable stretch jersey undershorts, incorporating NosiLife technology for first-line defense against biting insects and odor control.

FAQs

How long does the NosiLife insect repellent last?

The NosiLife treatment is engineered to remain effective for the lifetime of the garment, typically lasting up to 90 washes, provided care instructions are followed.

What types of insects does NosiLife repel?

NosiLife technology is proven to repel mosquitoes, midges, ticks, and other biting insects, offering a physical barrier and olfactory deterrent.

Can I wear this skort in cold weather?

The skort is primarily designed for warm to temperate conditions. While the nylon material offers some wind resistance, it provides minimal insulation. For cold weather, layering with thermal base layers or choosing a different garment would be more appropriate.

What is the inseam length of the undershorts?

The integrated stretch jersey undershorts have an inseam of approximately 5 inches.

Is the NosiLife treatment safe for skin?

Yes, NosiLife technology is odorless, invisible, and has been specifically developed to be safe for the skin.

How should I wash the skort to maintain its features?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (85°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat for drying or ironing. Line drying in the shade is recommended.

What is the material of the skort?

The outer layer is made from Nylon, and the inner undershorts are a stretch jersey material.

Troubleshooting

Reduced insect repellency

The NosiLife treatment is designed to last for a significant number of washes, but effectiveness can diminish over time. Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially avoiding fabric softeners and excessive high heat during drying. For continued protection, consider using a topical repellent as a supplementary measure.

Fabric feels damp after activity

While the fabric is moisture-wicking, prolonged intense activity may exceed its capacity. Ensure the garment is not too tight, which can impede airflow. After use, hang the skort to dry completely to reactivate its moisture-wicking properties.

Undershorts ride up during movement

This can occur with vigorous activity. Ensure the size purchased is correct and not too constrictive. The integrated 5" inseam is designed for coverage, but individual comfort may vary. Gentle stretching of the undershort fabric before wear can sometimes help.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent insect protection built into the fabric.
  • High comfort and freedom of movement due to stretch materials.

Cons

  • May not provide full coverage in extremely dense or thorny undergrowth compared to full-length trousers.
