Product Information
Full details
For adult women seeking comfortable and protective activewear for outdoor adventures, the Craghoppers NosiLife Pro Skort offers a practical alternative to trousers, combining a lightweight stretch skirt with an integrated undershort for unrestricted movement. Its primary benefit lies in its built-in NosiLife insect-repellent and odor-elimination technology, providing a defense against biting insects. A potential caveat is its mini skirt length, which may not be suitable for all activities or preferences.

FAQs
How does NosiLife technology work?
NosiLife technology incorporates a permethrin-based treatment into the fabric fibers, which is odorless and harmless to humans but acts as a repellent to biting insects like mosquitoes and ticks.
Is the insect repellent permanent?
The NosiLife treatment is built into the fabric and is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment, though its effectiveness may gradually diminish with excessive washing and wear.
What is the inseam of the undershort?
The undershort has an inseam of approximately 5 inches.
Can I wear this in very hot and humid weather?
Yes, the fabric is lightweight, moisture-wicking, and breathable, making it suitable for hot and humid conditions.
How should I wash the skort to maintain its properties?
Wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat. For best results and to preserve the NosiLife treatment, wash only when necessary.
What material is the skort made from?
The outer skirt is made from a durable Nylon blend, and the inner shorts are made from a comfortable stretch jersey.
Is this skort suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, the skort is designed for general outdoor activities and is not specifically optimized for swimming or prolonged water immersion.
Troubleshooting
Insect repellent seems less effective
The NosiLife treatment is designed to last for a specific number of washes. Ensure you are following care instructions carefully. Over time, effectiveness may naturally decrease. Consider reapplying insect repellent if needed for extended trips.
Fabric feels less breathable
Ensure the garment is clean and free from residues. Check care labels to confirm appropriate washing methods have been used. Over time, heavy soiling or improper washing can affect fabric performance.
Undershort feels restrictive
Verify that the correct size has been purchased. The undershort is designed to be snug for support but should allow for full movement. Ensure it is not twisted or bunched during wear.
