Full details

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This is a shell jacket designed primarily for waterproofing and windproofing. It is not insulated. For very cold weather, you will need to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath.

How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?

If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in, it is time to reapply the DWR treatment. You can test this by sprinkling a small amount of water on the jacket.

Can I use regular detergent to wash the jacket?

No, it is recommended to use a non-biological detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor clothing to preserve the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.

What does 'AquaDry Membrane' mean?

AquaDry Membrane is Craghoppers' proprietary waterproof and breathable technology. It creates a barrier against water while allowing moisture vapor to escape, keeping you dry from both the outside and the inside.

Are the seams truly waterproof?

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams, meaning every stitch line is sealed with waterproof tape to prevent water penetration.

How do I clean the pockets?

Empty all pockets before washing. You can carefully wipe down pocket interiors with a damp cloth if needed. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking during heavy rain.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the DWR finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary. Check for any accidental damage to the fabric or seams.

Hood adjustment is difficult.

Gently pull the drawcords while holding the toggle. Ensure no debris is obstructing the cord channels. Refer to the jacket's specific hood adjustment system if it differs.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.

Jacket feels less breathable over time.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the membrane's pores. Wash according to care instructions and consider a technical wash product if necessary.
