Craghoppers NosiLife Chima Jacket

As we see it, the inspiration for this jacket lies somewhere between Army surplus, a Milan fashion runway and Arkansas backwater bass fishing camps.  More sophisticated styling is paired with the intrinsic bug-battling power of Insect Shield (0.52% Permethrin) in Craghoppers’ well-conceived offering.  Four pockets and a vented back turn tight, treated mesh into a fitting addition to the serious traveler’s apparel arsenal.  Elastic hem and cuffs create a barrier to intrusive insects while supporting the jacket’s effectiveness in light rain.  While the hood is well shaped, including a drawstring would increase Active Junky’s confidence in the product’s potency during massive hatches.
