FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Ponsa Jacket is designed as a waterproof and breathable shell. It does not contain built-in insulation, making it ideal for layering in various temperatures.
How do I know if I need to re-proof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, but instead soaks in, it's time to re-apply a DWR treatment.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, you can wear it in cold weather by layering appropriate insulating garments underneath. The jacket itself provides wind and rain protection, not warmth.
What does 'AquaDry' mean?
AquaDry is Craghoppers' proprietary technology that ensures fabric is waterproof and breathable, providing effective protection from the elements.
Are the reflective logos durable?
The reflective logos are designed to withstand normal washing and wear. To maintain their integrity, avoid excessive abrasion and follow care instructions.
What is the purpose of the O/S map pocket?
The O/S map pocket is a larger external pocket designed to conveniently store and provide quick access to an Ordnance Survey map, or similar sized items.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C or 40°C with a non-biological detergent. Rinse thoroughly and do not use fabric softener.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer beading water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a specific re-waterproofing treatment for outdoor apparel.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Check that any pit zips or vents are open. Consider a thorough wash using a specialist cleaner.
Seams appear to be leaking
While unlikely with fully taped seams, ensure no damage has occurred to the tape. Check for any wear and tear around high-stress areas. Contact customer support if damage is found.
