FAQs

How long does the NosiLife insect repellent treatment last?

The NosiLife treatment is incorporated into the fabric and is designed to last for the expected lifetime of the garment when cared for according to the instructions. It is not a topical application and will not wash off with regular laundering.

Is the hood waterproof?

The jacket is designed with a concealed hood for wind and light rain protection. It is not intended to be fully waterproof, but the fabric offers quick-dry properties.

What is the primary purpose of the 'Solarshield' feature?

Solarshield provides UPF 50+ protection, meaning it blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, safeguarding your skin from sun damage.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

The jacket is lightweight and primarily designed for protection against insects, sun, and moisture. For cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer garments.

What types of insects does NosiLife repel?

NosiLife technology is effective against a broad range of insects, including mosquitoes, midges, ticks, and flies, providing protection in various outdoor environments.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or damage to the fabric. Rolling it loosely or folding it without creasing is recommended.

What is the difference between the recycled nylon and regular nylon in the fabric composition?

The 55% recycled nylon polyamide is sourced from post-consumer waste, reducing environmental impact. The 40% nylon polyamide provides the base fabric structure and durability. Both contribute to the jacket's performance characteristics.

Troubleshooting

Insect repellency seems reduced after several washes.

The NosiLife treatment is designed to last for the lifetime of the garment under normal use and care. Ensure you are following the recommended washing instructions (no fabric softener, gentle cycle). If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Jacket feels damp or is slow to dry.

Verify that the garment is not excessively layered underneath and that the washing machine's spin cycle is functioning correctly to remove excess water. Ensure the jacket is not exposed to direct heat sources for drying, which can damage the fabric.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the press studs are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten. If they feel stiff, try applying a small amount of silicone lubricant (available at hardware stores) to the stud mechanism, being careful to only apply it to the metal parts and not the fabric.

Jacket's fit feels too loose or too tight.

The jacket is designed with a regular fit. Consult the size guide provided on the product page to ensure you selected the correct size based on your measurements. If the fit is still not ideal, check the retailer's return policy for exchanges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

The Craghoppers Younes NosiLife Jacket is designed for versatile outdoor use and pairs well with various types of outdoor apparel. It is suitable for layering over t-shirts or lighter base layers.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and performance of the NosiLife fabric technology, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  2. Bleaching: Do not use bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

It is recommended to wash the garment separately from other items, especially during the first few washes, to prevent color transfer. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the fabric's technical properties.
