Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Compresslite IX Hooded Insulating Jacket is designed for adult females seeking lightweight, packable warmth for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing down-like insulation that's quick to deploy, even straight from its stuff sack. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, making it best suited for light rain or drizzle.

FAQs

What does 'Warmth Rating 2' mean?

Warmth Rating 2 signifies enhanced mid-level insulation, making the jacket suitable for cooler temperatures where a standard jacket might not be enough, but extreme cold protection isn't required.

How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?

Loosely stuff the jacket into its integrated stow bag. Avoid forceful packing, as this can strain the fabric over time. Once inside, you can gently compress it.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the jacket features a water-repellent H2OShield finish, which is designed to repel light rain and water-based stains. For prolonged or heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

What is the H2OShield finish made of?

The H2OShield finish is at least 50% plant-based and PFAS compliant, offering an environmentally conscious approach to water repellency.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable. It's recommended to close all zippers and use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.

What is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, the jacket features a hood with elasticated binding for a snug fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems to have lost its loft/warmth.

Place the jacket in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This can help to redistribute and re-loft the ThermoPro fill.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The H2OShield finish may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, and then apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment available from outdoor retailers, following the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult females, this jacket is a versatile piece of outerwear suitable for a range of activities. It pairs well with other outdoor clothing layers.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine washable. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.

  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help restore loft to the insulation. Remove promptly once dry.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a water-repellent treatment (such as those found in outdoor gear shops) to maintain the H2OShield finish, especially after numerous washes.
