Craghoppers NosiLife
Craghoppers NosiLife technology has been helping defend explorers, adventurers and travellers against biting insects for years, helping prevent life threatening illnesses like malaria, dengue fever and zika virus.
The latest iteration of this technology provides unrivalled defence against biting insects like mosquitos, midges, fruit flies, dust mites, read ants, fleas and now ticks*.
This is all thanks to the new active ingredient, Eucalyptus citriodora oil (hydrated, cyclized). Unlike previous versions, this is plant based and from a renewable source.
Craghoppers partner exclusively with farmers who use only plant-based pesticides and fertilisers in the cultivation of either eucalyptus trees ensuring sustainability throughout the supply chain.
NosiLife technology is built into and lasts the lifetime of the garment. This means less waste and more confidence when you're travelling. Due to the mode of action insects are unable to build up resistance to the active ingredient. This is really important as many regions of the world have begun to see a resistance to synthetic insecticides like Permethrin used in the previous generation.
In addition to defence from biting insects, the NosiLife range now offers odour elimination technology, ensuring you stay fresh and comfortable even in the warmest and most humid conditions.
Craghoppers have ensured their technology has been independently tested inline with World Health Organisation guidlines. Their dedication to continued development has seen the latest generation of NosiLife technology receive a prestigious ISPO award, highlighting Craghoppers continued efforts to protect travellers and adventurers all over the world.
* The technology is an effective repellent to ticks, the fabric is tested by an independent 3rd party testing facility. Due to the insects nature it is essential to cover any exposed skin with insect repellent clothing or lotion and ensure that the ends of trousers are tucked into NosiLife socks and all other openings are securely closed. Whilst NosiLife does reduce the chance of being bitten you still have to ensure that all uncovered skin is treated with an insect repellent lotion or spray.
