FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features an H2OShield durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. It is not a fully waterproof jacket and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy downpours.

How warm is the jacket?

It has a Warmth Rating of 2, indicating enhanced mid-level insulation. It is designed to provide comfortable warmth for cooler conditions, suitable as a standalone piece or as a layering item.

Can I wash this jacket in a machine?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. It is recommended to use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners or bleach.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to be compressible and can be packed away into its own integrated stow bag. Simply roll or fold it tightly and stuff it into the designated pouch.

What is ThermoPro fill?

ThermoPro is a synthetic insulation technology used by Craghoppers. It features specially designed fibers that mimic the thermal properties and loft of natural down, providing excellent heat retention and comfort without the bulk.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

The H2OShield finish can be maintained by cleaning the jacket and occasionally applying a suitable re-waterproofing treatment, available as sprays or wash-in products for outdoor apparel.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside after light rain.

Ensure the H2OShield finish is intact. If water is soaking through, consider a re-waterproofing treatment. Also, check that seams are not compromised.

Reduced warmth or loft in the insulation.

The ThermoPro fill may have become compressed. Gently tumble dry on a low heat setting to help restore loft. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can impact insulation performance.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Water is not beading off the fabric.

The H2OShield durable water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
