Craghoppers Men's NosiLife Cargo Trousers

Product Information

NosiLife is a unique "built -in" anti-insect technology, offering protection for the lifetime of your garment. Proven to reduce bites by up to 90%. Permanently woven into the fabric. Nosilife repels many insects.

Though my husband, Tim, isn’t as prone or allergic to insect bites as I am, he was still keen to try some Nosilife clothing to reduce the risk of spreading Dengue Fever. Odour Control – innovative and discreet activated carbon patch to capture odour molecules so you stay fresher for longer.Nosilife is a range of outdoor clothes that claims to be 90% effective against insect bites. It’s got an insect repellent technology permanently built in to the fabric, but not in the way you think! Nosilife doesn’t smell, nor is it completely soaked in the mosquito repellent you can buy from the shops. That means you can wash it just like normal laundry and its effectiveness won’t reduce over time. Much better than buying lots of plastic bottles of mosquito repellent for the rest of your life, right? Our range of men’s outdoor trousers are versatile, preparing you for any adventure, no matter the climate. Whether you’re climbing a mountain, exploring a new city or trekking through a humid jungle our range of outdoor trousers provide you with the required comfort and protection you need to focus on your journey ahead. Even if you’re not that bothered by what the bites do to your body (the bites I get are incredibly painful and can often blister due to allergies!), it’s important to repel mosquitoes and other biting insects to stop the spread of horrible diseases in countries rife with malaria or dengue fever, like Costa Rica and Kenya, for example. Craghoppers has designed a whole range of mosquito repellent clothing for women, with items from classic tops and insect repellent trousers, to dresses and even scarves.

The all important question still remains… does Craghoppers Nosilife technology actually repel mosquitoes? Well, I can’t be 100% sure. Having the clothes with me seemed to make me a lot more conscious about covering up, meaning I was less likely to get bitten. There’s no real way to tell whether this was a direct result of the Nosilife technology, but one thing’s for sure… I definitely got bitten a lot less than I normally do. Protect yourself and discover your world with our range of men’s outdoor trousers. We make outdoor trousers that will last equally as well into your next trek through the forest as it will through a casual stroll in the hills. The hoodie was especially useful on slightly cooler days, helping him layer up with other t-shirts and shirts that weren’t mosquito repellent. Adventure Fit– with a fixed waist, cooling inner waistband and heel tape to protect from hem wear and tear.

I also found that when I mixed and matched, I did still get bitten on areas that weren’t covered by the Nosilife clothing. So it’s not enough to wear a Nosilife cap on your head and expect no bites on your feet, for example. I also can’t therefore vouch for the effectiveness of the dresses, shorts or vests as they only give limited coverage. I still felt the need to wear mosquito spray on areas of my body that weren’t covered by the clothing. Still, this was much better than on days where I didn’t wear any Nosilife clothing and came away with itchy, swollen red bites on my legs.
