Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Compresslite IX Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, packable, and insulating layer for year-round use. Its key benefit is providing down-like warmth and comfort with a highly compressible ThermoPro fill, making it an excellent travel companion. A potential caveat is its water-repellent, not fully waterproof, finish, meaning it's best suited for light showers rather than heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Craghoppers Compresslite IX Jacket features an H2OShield DWR finish, which is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. It will resist light rain and splashes but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy precipitation.

How do I wash the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C using a mild detergent. It's best to wash it separately or with similar colours. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Can I tumble dry the jacket?

Yes, tumble dry on a low heat setting. Adding a few tennis balls can help to maintain the loft and fluffiness of the insulation.

What is the ThermoPro fill?

ThermoPro is a high-loft synthetic insulation used by Craghoppers that mimics the warmth and comfort of down, providing excellent thermal performance.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides good insulation for its weight and is suitable for moderate cold. For extreme cold, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer base and mid-layers.

How compact is the jacket when packed?

The jacket is designed to be super-compressible and packable, fitting easily into its own stuff sack, making it highly convenient for travel and storage.

What does DWR finish mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This finish causes water to bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, protecting you from light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses loft and warmth

Ensure the jacket is properly washed and dried. Tumble drying on a low heat with tennis balls can help restore the insulation's loft.

Water repellency is reduced

Apply a suitable DWR re-proofing treatment according to the product's instructions after washing.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing it.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Wash separately or with similar colours.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It is recommended to add a couple of tennis balls to help restore the loft of the insulation.
