FAQs
How effective is the NosiLife insect repellent?
NosiLife is a permanent fabric treatment that provides UPF30+ protection against biting insects, including mosquitoes and ticks, for the lifetime of the garment when cared for correctly.
Is this gilet suitable for cold weather?
The Sebou Gilet is designed for lightweight protection and breathability, making it best suited for mild to warm conditions or as a layering piece. It does not provide significant insulation for cold weather.
What is the benefit of the RFID-blocking pocket?
The RFID-blocking pocket helps protect your credit cards and passport from unauthorized scanning, adding an extra layer of security against electronic pickpocketing.
Can I wear this over a bulky sweater?
This gilet is designed to be lightweight and fits best over t-shirts or thin base layers. Wearing it over very bulky items may restrict movement and affect the fit.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Craghoppers apparel. Ensure you measure your chest and waist accurately. The description provides available sizes.
What materials are used in the gilet?
The outer is made from 100% Recycled Nylon Polyamide, and the lining is made from 90% Recycled Polyester and 10% Elastane.
Does the insect repellent wash out?
No, the NosiLife treatment is permanently bonded to the fabric and is designed to last for the life of the garment, provided you follow the recommended washing instructions and avoid fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
NosiLife treatment seems less effective
Ensure the garment has not been treated with fabric softeners during washing, as this can impair the repellent properties. Follow care instructions strictly.
Gilet feels restrictive
Check if the size selected is appropriate. The stretch mesh lining offers some flexibility, but a proper fit is crucial for comfort and movement.
Pocket zipper is stiff
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Avoid forcing it. If persistent, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) can sometimes help lubricate it.
