Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Compresslite IX Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, lightweight insulator for year-round use. Its key benefit is exceptional warmth and packability, making it ideal for travel and layering. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof. This jacket features high-loft ThermoPro fill for down-like warmth, a water-repellent H2OShield DWR finish, and is constructed from 100% recycled polyester.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish (H2OShield DWR), which is effective against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and will not keep you dry in prolonged heavy downpours.

How do I wash the Compresslite IX Jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting until completely dry.

What is ThermoPro insulation?

ThermoPro is a high-loft synthetic insulation used by Craghoppers that mimics the warmth and compressibility of down while offering better performance when damp and being easier to care for.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides good insulation for its weight and can be worn in cold weather, especially as a layering piece. For extreme cold, it is best paired with a warmer insulating layer underneath or a waterproof shell over the top.

What does 'compressible' mean in this context?

It means the jacket can be easily squeezed or folded down into a very small volume, often small enough to fit into its own integrated pocket or a separate stuff sack, making it ideal for packing.

Is the jacket made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable approach to apparel manufacturing.

What is the benefit of the H2OShield DWR finish?

The H2OShield Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish causes water and light stains to bead up and roll off the fabric surface, helping to keep you drier and the jacket cleaner for longer.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not compressing fully into stuff sack.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to stuff it. Check that no items are left in the pockets.

Water beading is reduced after several washes.

The H2OShield DWR finish may need reapplication. Follow the instructions for a suitable fabric re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable warmth without excessive bulk.
  • Water-repellent finish offers protection against light rain and spills.
  • Made from sustainable, recycled materials.
  • Versatile as a standalone jacket or a layering piece.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof, so not suitable for heavy rain.
  • May require frequent reapplication of DWR for optimal water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of its stuff sack.

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed as an adult male garment. It functions optimally as a layering piece, compatible with base layers and waterproof outer shells. Its regular fit accommodates most body types.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Wash with similar colours.
  • Detergent: Use a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before removing from the dryer.
  • Re-waterproofing: For best performance, reapply a water-repellent finish (like Nikwax or Grangers) after several washes, following the product's instructions.
