FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the waffle texture?
The waffle texture increases the surface area of the fleece, which helps to trap more air and enhance insulation, providing greater warmth.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this jacket is made from fleece and is not waterproof or water-resistant. It is designed for insulation in dry, cool conditions and should be layered under a waterproof jacket if rain is expected.
How should I determine my size?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart for men's apparel. The Charlston Jacket has a relaxed fit, so consider if you prefer more room or a snugger feel when choosing your size.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in very cold weather when layered appropriately. It functions well as a mid-layer providing insulation over a base layer and under a windproof or waterproof outer shell.
Are the pockets secure enough for valuable items?
Yes, the two handwarmer pockets feature zips, providing secure storage for items like keys, cards, or a small mobile phone.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from fleece fabric, specifically a waffle-textured fleece, which is known for its warmth and softness.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Fleece appears matted or less soft
This can occur with friction. Ensure correct washing and drying procedures. Avoid overcrowding the washing machine and use a low heat tumble dry setting. A gentle brushing with a soft brush may help restore some texture.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Pilling is natural with fleece. Use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills. Preventative measures include washing inside out and avoiding abrasive contact.
