Full details

The Craghoppers Lorton II Jacket in Green is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable protection against the elements during hiking and walking. Its key benefit is the combination of waterproof and breathable fabric, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that while breathable, it may not be sufficient for extreme high-exertion activities in very warm, humid conditions.

FAQs

What is AquaDry fabric?

AquaDry is Craghoppers' own-brand waterproof and breathable fabric technology, designed to keep you dry and comfortable in wet weather conditions.

How do I know if the jacket is breathable enough?

The jacket offers good breathability for hiking and walking. If you find it too warm or clammy during very high-intensity activities or in hot weather, consider it may be better suited for cooler conditions or less strenuous efforts, and layering should be adjusted.

Can I wear a thick fleece underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer shell. You can layer a fleece or other insulating items underneath for warmth, depending on the temperature.

Are the reflective logos durable?

The reflective logos are designed to withstand normal wear and washing. However, avoid harsh abrasion or high-heat ironing directly on the logos to preserve their reflectivity.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that a waterproof tape is applied over every seam on the inside of the jacket. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes created during the sewing process, ensuring complete waterproofing.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading up on the surface of the fabric and is starting to soak in. This can vary depending on how frequently the jacket is used and washed, but typically once a season or when performance degrades is sufficient.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outerwear.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Once dry, apply a graphite pencil or wax to the teeth for smoother operation.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Also, consider if the activity level is exceeding the jacket's breathability rating for the ambient conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for most outdoor activities.
  • Durable construction with fully taped seams for long-lasting protection.
  • Thoughtful design features like articulated sleeves enhance freedom of movement.
  • Increased safety due to reflective detailing.
  • Practical storage options with secure zipped and map pockets.

Cons

  • May be too warm for strenuous activity in very hot weather.
  • Breathability, while good, might not match highly technical garments for extreme athletes.
  • Limited insulation, best suited for layering in cooler conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The Craghoppers Lorton II Jacket is designed as an outer shell. It is compatible with various base and mid-layers for added warmth in colder conditions. Ensure your chosen layers do not restrict movement with the articulated sleeves.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a non-biological detergent. Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. If necessary, iron on a very low heat setting, avoiding printed areas.
  4. Waterproofing Maintenance: For best performance, re-waterproof the jacket periodically using a suitable spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.
