Full details

Featuring AquaDry Membrane technology, it offers an impressive waterproof rating and excellent breathability to keep you dry and comfortable during strenuous activity; however, users should note its 695g weight, which makes it a substantial garment rather than an ultralight shell.

FAQs

Is the Craghoppers Lorton II suitable for winter use?

Yes, its wind-blocking capabilities and robust waterproof membrane make it an excellent choice for winter hiking, especially when paired with an insulating mid-layer.

What does 20,000mm hydrostatic head mean?

It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 20-meter column of water before moisture begins to penetrate, confirming its high-level waterproof capability.

Are the materials used in this jacket recycled?

Yes, the outer fabric of this garment is made from 100% recycled materials, repurposing plastic bottles or textile waste.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features 6 pockets in total, including a dedicated zipped security pocket and an internal map pocket.

Can I use this for everyday casual wear?

While it is designed for outdoor performance, its functional design and sleek finish make it suitable for everyday wear in wet, urban environments.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The H2OShield finish likely needs reactivation via a gentle tumble dry or the application of a fresh fluorocarbon-free DWR spray.

Condensation building up inside the jacket

Ensure you are layering appropriately; even highly breathable membranes can struggle if you are wearing too many synthetic base layers that trap excess heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of the jacket, ensure all zippers are closed before washing. Wash the garment in cold water using a technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent, as standard soap can strip the H2OShield finish. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach.

To restore the water-repellent performance after heavy use or washing, apply a low-heat tumble dry or use a gentle iron to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. Always check the internal care label for specific temperature guidance. Store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
