What is Craghoppers NosiLife? The Ultimate Anti-Insect Clothing Explained
If you're someone who loves exploring the great outdoors or jet-setting to exotic destinations, chances are you've had a few run-ins with pesky mosquitoes and other biting insects. It’s not just annoying—it can be dangerous. Enter Craghoppers NosiLife, a game-changing clothing line that’s designed to protect you, literally from head to toe.
🧬 So, What Exactly is NosiLife?
NosiLife is Craghoppers’ exclusive anti-insect technology that’s built directly into the fabric of their travel clothing. Unlike sprays or topical repellents that wear off, NosiLife treatment is permanent—yep, you heard that right. It lasts for the entire lifespan of the garment, meaning you get long-term protection without any extra effort.
💡 Key Ingredient: Permethrin
The active ingredient in NosiLife is Permethrin, a synthetic version of a natural insect repellent found in chrysanthemum flowers. Permethrin has been widely used in insect-repellent clothing and mosquito nets for decades, and it’s proven effective against mosquitoes, midges, ticks, and other biting bugs.
NosiLife garments contain a biocidal product that’s been tested by independent laboratories to ensure safety and performance. And don’t worry—it’s skin-safe and odourless, so you won’t smell like chemicals or feel uncomfortable.
🛡️ How Does NosiLife Work?
The science is actually pretty cool. When bugs come into contact with the treated fabric, the Permethrin interferes with their nervous system, either repelling them or killing them on contact. That means fewer bites and a significantly lower risk of catching diseases like:
-
Malaria
-
Dengue fever
-
Zika virus
-
Lyme disease
And the best part? You don’t have to do a thing—the protection is baked right in.
