FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Vanth jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating mid-layer underneath.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing guide for women. It is recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hip. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath when selecting your size.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What does 'fully taped seams' mean?
Fully taped seams mean that waterproof tape is applied over all the stitched seams on the inside of the jacket. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
The frequency depends on usage and care. Reapply the H2OShield DWR finish when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.
What is the benefit of the O/S map pocket?
The O/S map pocket is larger than standard pockets, specifically designed to accommodate and protect an Ordnance Survey (OS) map, making it easily accessible for navigation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.
The H2OShield DWR finish may need replenishing. Follow instructions for applying a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Water seeping through seams.
Ensure all seams are intact. If damage is present, contact customer support. For minor issues, a seam sealer may be applicable.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick if needed.
