Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Younes NosiLife Jacket is designed for adult males seeking practical outdoor wear. Its key benefit is combining advanced fabric technologies for comfort and protection, including insect repellency and UV blocking, with a lightweight and quick-drying design. A potential caveat is its press-stud fastening, which may offer less secure closure than zippers for some users. Key features include its recycled and nylon polyamide blend fabric, moisture-wicking properties, odour control, and UPF 50+ sun protection.

FAQs

How effective is the NosiLife insect repellent?

The NosiLife technology is designed to provide a durable, built-in protection against biting insects for the lifetime of the garment. It works by embedding the repellent into the fabric itself, offering protection without the need for topical application.

Is the jacket waterproof?

No, the Craghoppers Younes NosiLife Jacket is not waterproof. It is designed to be water-resistant and quick-drying, making it suitable for light rain or splashes, but not for prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.

What is the difference between NosiLife and other insect repellents?

NosiLife is a permanent fabric treatment that is odourless and invisible, integrated directly into the material. Unlike topical repellents, it doesn't wash off and is designed to last the garment's lifespan.

Can I wear this jacket in very hot weather?

Yes, the jacket is made from lightweight, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying fabric, making it suitable for warm weather. The SolarShield UPF 50+ also provides protection from the sun.

How do I check my size?

Refer to the size chart provided with the product details. Chest measurements are given in inches (e.g., M: 50 in.) to help you find the best fit.

Is the recycled nylon environmentally friendly?

Using recycled nylon polyamide helps reduce reliance on virgin resources and can lower the environmental impact associated with producing new materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after washing

Avoid using fabric softener. If stiffness persists, a low-heat tumble dry can sometimes help soften the fabric. Ensure the jacket is fully rinsed to remove detergent residue.

Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced

The NosiLife treatment is permanent and designed to last the lifetime of the garment. Ensure proper washing and drying care is followed. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat which could degrade the fabric over time.

Hood is difficult to conceal

Ensure the hood is fully folded and zipped (if applicable) into its compartment according to the jacket's design. Check for any minor obstructions within the compartment.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten

Ensure the press studs are properly aligned before attempting to fasten. If they feel tight, try a firm, direct pressure. Over time, they may loosen slightly with use.
