Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Selside Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult men who need a versatile, weather-resistant outer layer for outdoor activities in unpredictable climates. By combining a warm high-pile fleece lining with H2OShield technology, it offers an effective balance of wind resistance and water repellency in a single, lightweight package. While it excels in light rain and windy conditions, the jacket is not intended as a substitute for a heavy-duty, fully seam-sealed waterproof shell in extreme storm conditions.

FAQs
Is the jacket waterproof?
It features H2OShield water-repellent technology, which is effective against light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Can this be worn as a mid-layer?
Yes, its design allows it to be worn comfortably over base layers or under a larger shell in very cold conditions.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is constructed from durable polyester.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Refer to the size chart provided for the Selside line, keeping in mind the adjustable hem and cuffs allow for minor fit variations.
Can I tumble dry the jacket?
It is recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the synthetic fibers and the water-repellent treatment.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish may be worn out. Wash the jacket to remove dirt and oils, then apply a fresh DWR treatment spray.
Cord locks slipping during activity
Ensure no fabric is caught in the mechanism and that the cord is threaded correctly through the lock spring.
Zipper sticking
Check for debris or stray threads along the zipper track; gently clean with a soft brush and ensure the fabric is pulled taut.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Craghoppers Selside jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Adjustment: Utilize the cord locks at the hem and the touch-fastening tabs at the wrists to adjust the fit. A snugger fit is generally more effective at retaining heat.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can compromise the H2OShield water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which could damage the synthetic fibers.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface after extensive use, consider applying a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the water-resistant properties.
