Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Expert Basecamp Shell Jacket is designed for adults seeking reliable waterproof protection for everyday outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing agile, breathable, and waterproof defense in wet conditions thanks to its AquaDry Membrane construction and H2OShield DWR finish. A potential caveat is its specific focus on waterproof performance, which might mean less emphasis on insulation compared to dedicated winter jackets. Key features include a stretch fabric for freedom of movement, a fully adjustable hood and hem for a customized fit, and multiple secure pockets for essentials.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, this is a shell jacket designed for waterproofing and breathability. It is intended to be worn over other layers for warmth.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The jacket is designed for a unisex fit, and consideration should be given to the layers you plan to wear underneath.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

Yes, the jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For cold weather, layer it over warm fleece or insulated garments.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after significant wear or washing. Follow the instructions on your chosen DWR product.

What is the 'O/S map pocket' for?

The 'O/S map pocket' (often referring to Ordnance Survey map size) is a larger pocket designed to accommodate maps or other similarly sized items, keeping them accessible and protected.

Is the hood removable?

The product description does not specify if the hood is removable. Typically, shell jacket hoods are fixed for maximum weather protection.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product instructions.

Seams appear to be leaking

Ensure seams are clean and dry. If leakage persists, the seam tape may be damaged, and professional repair or replacement might be needed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil rub to the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance.
  • Comfortable stretch fabric allows for easy movement.
  • Durable construction with fully taped seams.
  • Adjustable features ensure a secure and personalized fit.
  • Practical pocket configuration for outdoor needs.

Cons

  • Primarily focused on waterproofing, may require layering for warmth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup out of the package; it is ready for immediate use. It is designed to be worn as an outer shell, compatible with various mid-layers or base layers depending on the weather conditions. To maintain its performance:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Avoid direct heat or ironing.
  3. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, consider using a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment periodically, following the product's instructions.
