Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Wheatear Jacket is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight yet comforting layer for cooler weather. Its key benefit is providing excellent insulation through its Jacquard sherpa fleece fabric. A minor caveat is its primary function as a mid-layer, meaning it may not be sufficient for extreme cold on its own. This jacket features a full-length zip, zipped lower pockets, and elasticated binding at the hem and cuffs for a snug fit, making it ideal for outdoor activities or casual wear.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Wheatear Jacket?

The Wheatear Jacket is designed primarily as an insulating mid-layer, offering warmth and comfort in cooler weather conditions.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Wheatear Jacket is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is intended to be worn as a warm layer and may need to be paired with a waterproof outer shell in wet conditions.

How should I wash the jacket?

You should machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Always fasten zips before washing and wash with similar colours.

What does 'Jacquard sherpa fleece' mean?

Jacquard refers to a weaving technique that creates a textured pattern. Sherpa fleece is a soft, fluffy fabric known for its warmth and comfort, mimicking sheep's wool.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the jacket features zipped lower pockets, providing secure storage for items like keys, a phone, or other small essentials.

What is the National Trust Collection?

The National Trust Collection is a range of products where a portion of net sales is donated to the National Trust to help preserve nature, beauty, and history.

Can this jacket be worn by men?

This specific model is designed for women. Craghoppers may offer similar fleece jackets designed for men.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size guide. Elasticated binding on cuffs and hem should provide a snug fit, not restrictive.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Ensure zippers are clear of fabric and debris. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant can help if the issue persists.

Fleece material is not as warm as expected

This jacket is designed as a mid-layer. For colder conditions, layer it over a thermal base layer and/or under a windproof or waterproof outer shell.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Some pilling can occur with fleece over time. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasion can minimize this. Use a fabric shaver carefully if significant pilling occurs.
