FAQs
What does 'Nosilife' technology do?
Nosilife is a fabric technology that incorporates a built-in, lifelong insect repellent treatment. It is designed to repel mosquitoes, midges, and other biting insects, offering protection during outdoor activities.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket is not designed to be waterproof. It offers water resistance due to its fabric construction but is primarily focused on being lightweight, breathable, and protective against insects and UV rays. It is water-repellent, not waterproof.
What is the UPF rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of 50+, providing excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and designed for moderate to warm conditions or as a protective layer. For cold weather, it is best used as a base or mid-layer under warmer insulation or a waterproof shell.
How do I activate or maintain the insect repellent feature?
The Nosilife treatment is permanent and requires no activation. Regular washing according to care instructions will help maintain its effectiveness over the garment's lifespan. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat.
What are the main materials used in this jacket?
The jacket is made from a blend of 55% recycled nylon polyamide, 40% nylon polyamide, and 5% elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.
Are the pockets secure?
The jacket features multiple pockets, including two side pockets, two chest pockets, and one dedicated security pocket, offering varied options for storing your belongings securely.
Troubleshooting
Insect repellent effectiveness seems reduced.
The Nosilife treatment is incorporated into the fabric fibers and designed for the lifetime of the garment. Ensure the garment is clean. While effective, extreme conditions or heavy contamination can temporarily impact performance. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners which may affect fabric properties.
Jacket feels damp after activity.
The moisture-wicking technology helps move sweat away from the body. If the jacket feels damp, it may be saturated with perspiration. Allow the jacket to air out and dry; its quick-dry properties should restore comfort relatively fast.
Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the studs are aligned correctly before fastening. If they become stiff, check for any lint or debris caught around the fastening area and clean gently with a soft brush. Avoid forcing the studs.
