Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Compresslite IX Hooded Insulating Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who need reliable warmth in a lightweight, space-saving package. Featuring high-loft ThermoPro fill and a water-repellent finish, this jacket provides synthetic insulation that mimics the performance of down, though it is intended primarily as a mid-layer or light outer layer rather than for extreme alpine conditions.

FAQs

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood features an elasticated herringbone binding which provides a snug, secure fit without the need for manual drawcords.

Can I wear this in the rain?

It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain or mist well, but it is not fully waterproof and should be covered if exposed to heavy downpours.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to compress down into its own integrated stuff sack, making it compact enough to fit inside a small daypack.

What is the primary material?

The jacket is constructed from 100% polyester, including the durable shell and the synthetic ThermoPro fill.

Is this suitable for winter hiking?

It is an excellent insulating layer for active winter use, though in extreme cold it should be paired with a waterproof outer shell.

Troubleshooting

The jacket feels less warm after washing

The loft may have collapsed during the wash; tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation back up.

Water is starting to soak into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR (durable water repellent) finish may have worn off. Apply a technical re-proofing spray to restore the water-repellent properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to pack and store
  • Provides immediate core warmth
  • Water-repellent finish protects in light moisture
  • Lightweight feel without compromising durability
  • Integrated hood offers extra head coverage

Cons

  • Synthetic fill may be bulkier than premium down
  • Limited protection against heavy, sustained rainfall
  • Not designed for extreme sub-zero mountaineering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is ready to use straight from the stuff sack. For long-term maintenance, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent to preserve the water-repellent finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the H2OShield coating. When not in use for long periods, it is best to store the jacket hanging up rather than compressed in its stuff sack to ensure the ThermoPro insulation retains its loft over time. The fit is standard, making it compatible with most base layers underneath and shell jackets on top.
