Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Penya Nosilife Fleece Jacket is designed for active children who need a lightweight, insulating layer for outdoor adventures in cooler conditions. Its primary benefit is the integration of specialized Nosilife fabric technology, which provides permanent anti-insect and anti-odour protection alongside warmth; however, parents should note that while the fleece is durable, it is best suited as a mid-layer rather than a standalone heavy-duty waterproof jacket.

FAQs

Is the anti-insect treatment permanent?

Yes, the Nosilife treatment is woven into the fabric and is designed to last the lifetime of the garment.

Can this be worn under a raincoat?

Absolutely. Because it is a lightweight mini grid fleece, it fits perfectly underneath a waterproof shell without adding excessive bulk.

Does the jacket come in different sizes?

Yes, this model is available in various sizes, including 5-6 and 11-12 years.

Is the fabric fire retardant?

No, the jacket is made from polyester and should be kept away from open flames or high-heat sources like campfires.

How do I ensure the best fit for a 7-year-old?

The jacket is designed with a relaxed fit. If the child is between sizes, we recommend selecting the size that allows room for a light base layer underneath.

Troubleshooting

The zipper is catching or sticking.

Check the track for fabric snags. If clear, lightly rub a pencil lead or a small amount of candle wax along the zipper teeth to improve movement.

The fleece feels like it is losing its thermal efficiency.

Ensure the fleece is not being washed with heavy soaps or softeners that coat the fibers. Air drying is recommended to keep the grid structure lofted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated anti-insect protection is ideal for camping and hiking
  • Lightweight design that does not restrict movement
  • Uses sustainable recycled polyester materials
  • Easy to clean and quick-drying fabric
  • Includes convenient zippered pockets for secure storage

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy rain as it lacks waterproof ratings
  • The relaxed fit may feel slightly loose for smaller children
  • Requires adherence to specific washing guidelines to maintain the anti-insect treatment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a garment, the jacket requires no setup; simply ensure the size (7-8 years) matches the child's frame for optimal comfort. For care, wash the fleece in cool water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using strong fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the performance of the Nosilife anti-insect and anti-odour technologies. Always hang-dry the jacket to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers and avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the delicate grid structure of the fleece.
