Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Selside Soft Shell Jacket is an ideal choice for adults seeking a versatile outer layer for unpredictable weather, offering a reliable blend of wind resistance and fleece-lined warmth. It is particularly well-suited for outdoor enthusiasts who require a streamlined design for daily wear or light hiking; however, while the H2OShield technology provides water-repellent protection, it is not a substitute for a heavy-duty waterproof hardshell in extreme, sustained downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, it features H2OShield technology which is water-repellent and wind-resistant, but it is not seam-sealed to be fully waterproof in heavy rain.
Can I wash this in a machine?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle. Always check the internal care label for specific temperature instructions.
Does the hood detach?
This specific model features a standing collar design and does not include a hood.
Is the jacket breathable?
Yes, the softshell material is designed to offer a balance between warmth and breathability, making it suitable for moderate activity.
Does it fit true to size?
The jacket generally fits true to standard apparel sizing, though the fleece lining provides a structured feel.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer layer
The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the jacket and reapply a technical DWR spray to restore water-repellency.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zipper is clear; if the slider is sticky, rub a small amount of paraffin wax or specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed as a standalone piece, but its streamlined fit allows it to be worn under a larger waterproof shell if necessary. To ensure longevity, always close all zippers and touch-fastening tabs before laundering to prevent snags. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip away the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) performance of the H2OShield finish. Hang dry the garment away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the polyester fibers. If water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off, consider reapplying a technical waterproofing treatment specifically designed for softshell garments.
