As a British heritage brand, Craghoppers tends to run slighter smaller than other American outdoor brands.

Craghoppers makes Insect Shield® clothing BECAUSE BUGS SUCK. Insect Shield® is a technology used on Craghoppers adventure apparel to deter harmful insects such as mosquitoes and ticks.

In the U.K., the line of Craghoppers clothing with bug deterring technology is called NosiLife. In the US, we adapt NosiLife clothing with US-approved Insect Shield® technology. This technology uses an FDA-approved natural insecticide called Permethrin that is extracted from the chrysanthemum flower. The chrysanthemum extract is then chemically applied to our apparel. The result is a tested, proven and safe bug defence alternative that effectively lasts the lifetime of the garment.

In short, Insect Shield®...

  • Deters harmful insects with a natural and FDA-approved insecticide that comes from a flower
  • Is family friendly and pet safe
  • Lasts the lifetime of the garment
  • Is odorless
  • Is tested and proven by the FDA, CDC, WHO, AAFP, NIOSH, and with our own rigorous testing

One bite is all it takes to contract a serious insect-transmitted disease. That’s why we have Insect Shield® technology built-in to our essential outdoor adventure clothing for long-lasting bug protection. Insect Shield® has been tested and proved to be effective against deterring mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers, and midges. Learn more here.

Insect Shield® is made from a natural insecticide called Permethrin that originates from the chrysanthemum flower. Permethrin was approved by the FDA in 1977 as a natural insecticide. Permethrin is dipped using a chemical application process to Craghoppers clothing, which already features fabrics with a tighter weave that makes it difficult for insects to protrude. This double shield is what makes up Craghoppers Insect Shield® adventure clothing.
