Full details
The Craghoppers Selside Soft Shell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and urban commuters who require reliable protection against changeable weather conditions. This jacket excels by combining a high-pile, fleece-lined interior for warmth with H2OShield technology that effectively repels water and blocks wind, making it a versatile mid-to-outer layer. While it offers excellent insulation and a streamlined silhouette, users should note that its warmth rating of 1 makes it best suited for mild to moderate temperatures rather than extreme Arctic climates.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Can I wear this in the winter?
It is rated with a warmth level of 1. It is suitable for mild winter days, but should be layered with additional insulation for colder environments.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is crafted from high-quality, durable polyester with a fleece-lined interior.
How do I adjust the fit at the waist?
The hem features integrated cord lock adjusters that you can pull to tighten the bottom of the jacket for a more secure fit.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle, though you should avoid fabric softeners to protect the technical coating.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The side pockets are designed for everyday essentials and are deep enough to securely hold most standard-sized smartphones.
Troubleshooting
Water is starting to soak into the fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and consider using a reputable technical fabric re-proofer to restore water repellency.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Check for debris or fabric caught in the track. Clean the teeth gently with a soft brush and apply a zipper lubricant if necessary.
Drawcord hem feels too loose
Ensure both sides of the cord lock are engaged; if the lock is slipping, inspect it for fabric obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, keep the following care instructions in mind:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish of the H2OShield fabric.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket in a shaded, well-ventilated area. High heat from a tumble dryer may damage the fleece lining and the polyester construction.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape and ensure the cord lock adjusters at the hem remain unobstructed.
- Compatibility: The jacket is designed to fit comfortably over standard base layers and light sweaters due to its flexible softshell fabric.
