Full details

The Craghoppers Younes Nosilife Jacket is designed for adult males seeking versatile, protective outerwear for outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its advanced fabric technology, offering insect repellency, UV protection, and moisture-wicking properties for comfort in various environments.

FAQs

How long does the Nosilife insect repellent treatment last?

The Nosilife treatment is designed to be durable and effective for the expected lifetime of the garment when cared for according to the washing instructions. It does not wash out with regular laundering.

Can I wear this jacket in the rain?

The jacket is primarily designed for protection against insects and sun, and its fabric offers some water resistance due to its tight weave. However, it is not a waterproof or water-resistant jacket and is not intended for heavy rain conditions.

What is the difference between Nosilife and other insect repellents?

Nosilife is an odorless, integrated fabric treatment that binds to the fibers, offering long-lasting protection. Unlike topical repellents, it does not require reapplication and is not washed off easily.

Is the recycled nylon as durable as regular nylon?

Yes, recycled nylon offers comparable durability and performance to virgin nylon while reducing environmental impact. The blend in this jacket ensures both strength and comfort.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, trekking, camping, travel, and general outdoor wear, especially in areas with insects or strong sun exposure.

How do I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. You can fold it or hang it. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or damp conditions to preserve the fabric's integrity.

What are the dimensions for size M?

For size Medium (M), the chest measurement is 50 inches.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced.

Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions, avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners that can interfere with the treatment. The Nosilife treatment is designed for the lifetime of the garment under normal use and care.

Jacket feels damp after activity.

Confirm that the garment is being worn directly or over moisture-wicking base layers. Ensure the washing process did not use fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Allow the garment to air dry fully.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the studs are aligned correctly before fastening. If they feel stiff, try working them back and forth a few times. Avoid forcing them, which could damage the fabric around the stud.

Fabric has lost its stretch.

Check care label for washing and drying instructions. Over-drying or high heat can affect the elastane content. Wash in cold water and air dry or tumble dry on low.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective insect repellent for outdoor comfort.
  • High level of UV protection (UPF 50+).
  • Lightweight and stretchy material enhances mobility.
  • Moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties keep the wearer dry.
  • Multiple functional pockets for secure storage.
  • Sustainable material usage with recycled nylon.

Cons

  • Regular fit might not appeal to all body types.
  • Press-stud fastening may be less secure than zippers for some applications.
  • Primarily designed for milder conditions; may lack insulation for extreme cold.
  • Color options are limited compared to some competitors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Craghoppers Younes Nosilife Jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all press studs are fastened for optimal fit and coverage.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as standalone outerwear or as a layer over lighter clothing. It pairs well with t-shirts, base layers, and hiking trousers. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, camping, traveling, and casual wear.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the fabric and its protective technologies:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water (30°C).
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the fabric's properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods when drying.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting. Do not iron directly over the Nosilife treatment areas.
