FAQs

How effective is the Nosilife technology against mosquitoes?

Nosilife technology is designed to provide effective protection against a wide range of biting insects, including mosquitoes. The treatment is integrated into the fabric and is durable for the life of the garment.

Is the UPF 50+ rating permanent?

Yes, the UPF 50+ rating is a property of the fabric weave and treatment and is designed to last the lifetime of the garment, provided care instructions are followed.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

This jacket is primarily designed for sun protection and insect repellency, with moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties. It offers some resistance to light showers but is not a waterproof jacket. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof outer layer would be more suitable.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

The jacket can be machine washed at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners to maintain the integrity of the fabric technologies.

How do I find the right size?

Please refer to the size chart provided with the product details. Chest measurements for the XL size are 56 inches.

Does the concealed hood offer good protection?

The concealed hood provides coverage for the head and can be deployed when needed. While it offers protection from sun and light wind, it may not be as robust as a permanently attached, adjustable hood for adverse weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellent properties seem reduced after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions carefully, particularly avoiding fabric softeners. Many Nosilife treatments are designed to last the lifetime of the garment with proper care.

Jacket feels damp after activity.

Confirm that the jacket is not too tight, which could restrict airflow. Ensure any layers worn underneath are also moisture-wicking to allow the jacket to perform optimally.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Try pressing the studs firmly and aligning them squarely before fastening. If they remain stiff after several uses, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied sparingly to the male part of the stud.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective insect and UV protection for outdoor activities.
  • Moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric ensures comfort.
  • Lightweight and stretchy material allows for good mobility.
  • Ample storage with multiple well-placed pockets.
  • Sustainable material with a percentage of recycled nylon.

Cons

  • Regular fit might not appeal to those seeking a tailored look.
  • Press stud fastening may be less secure than zippers for some users.
  • Fabric blend might feel less premium compared to natural fibers for some.
  • Concealed hood might be less substantial than a permanently attached hood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Craghoppers Younes Nosilife Jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. The concealed hood can be deployed or retracted as needed via a simple adjustment around the neckline.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a standalone outer layer or can be layered over other apparel like t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, or light fleeces. Its regular fit accommodates various base layers.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 30°C. Wash with similar colours.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. The quick-dry nature of the fabric means it will dry relatively fast.
  • Ironing: Iron on a cool setting if necessary. Avoid ironing directly on any printed labels or technical fabric treatments.
  • Maintenance: Do not bleach or use fabric softeners, as these can affect the fabric's performance properties, including moisture-wicking and repellent treatments.
