Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Compresslite IX Hooded Jacket is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking versatile, packable insulation. Its key benefit is providing effective warmth that compresses down easily for travel. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not a fully waterproof garment. This jacket features high-loft ThermoPro fill for down-like warmth, a water-repellent H2OShield finish, and a grown-on hood, making it ideal for variable weather conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket features a H2OShield durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which repels light rain and water-based stains. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged rainfall.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to be packed into its own integrated stuff sack or pocket. Simply compress the jacket and stuff it into the designated pocket until it fits snugly.

What is the ThermoPro fill?

ThermoPro fill is a synthetic insulation developed by Craghoppers that aims to provide high-loft, down-like warmth and performance, even when slightly damp.

Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?

The jacket offers good mid-level insulation. For freezing temperatures, it is best used as a layering piece over thermal base layers and under a more robust outer shell.

How often should I reapply the DWR finish?

The frequency depends on use and washing. It is generally recommended to reapply after washing and drying, or when you notice water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Craghoppers typically offers a limited warranty on their products. Please refer to the official Craghoppers website or your point of purchase for specific warranty details and duration.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm after washing

The insulation may have clumped. Ensure the jacket is completely dry and tumble dry on a low heat with tennis balls to help restore loft and redistribute the fill.

Water repellency is reduced

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following the product manufacturer's instructions after cleaning.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.

Jacket feels clammy during activity

While water-repellent, the jacket is not fully waterproof or highly breathable. For intense aerobic activities, consider a more breathable alternative or wear as a layering piece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

To maintain the performance and longevity of your Compresslite IX Hooded Jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Do NOT use fabric softener or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help restore loft to the insulation. Alternatively, air dry flat, periodically fluffing the insulation.
