“Nothing excites a mosquito like yards of bare flesh!” says an excited press release from Cotswold Outdoor. Thankfully, the company isn’t offering some kind of insect-based jazz mag but is instead backing Craghoppers NosiLife clothing, which is designed to give you protection from mosquitos for “a lifetime of wear”.
“NosiLife uses a world exclusive, textile impregnation treatment to give synthetic fabrics permanent insect-repellency,” a Cotswold Outdoor spokeman says. “Proven 90 per cent protection from insects and mosquitos.”
The range has fast drying properties so it can be washed at night and worn again by morning to make it most useful for travellers.
