Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Vanth Waterproof Jacket is designed for female outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable protection against wet and windy weather conditions without compromising on style. The key benefit of this jacket is its Aqua Dry technology, which provides a high-performance breathable, waterproof, and wind-resistant barrier while utilizing sustainable recycled materials. A notable caveat for potential buyers is that the vibrant multicolor finish may be less subtle for those who prefer understated or solid-colored outdoor gear.

FAQs

Is the jacket fully seam-sealed?

Yes, the Vanth jacket features sealed seams to ensure complete waterproof integrity.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent wind protection, but it is a shell layer. To stay warm in cold temperatures, layer it over an insulated fleece or down mid-layer.

How do I choose the right size?

This jacket follows standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size, keeping in mind that you may want extra room for base layers.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is fixed, but it includes an adjustable drawcord for a personalized, secure fit.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the side pockets are designed to securely store modern smartphones and other trail essentials.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading up.

The DWR finish has worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical DWR spray to restore water repellency.

Feeling damp inside the jacket during strenuous activity.

Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers; cotton layers will trap sweat and negate the jacket's breathability.

Zippers feel stiff or stuck.

Check for debris or dirt in the zipper track. Clean with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wash the jacket on a cool, gentle cycle with a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof gear.
  2. Drying: Air dry the garment whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a very low heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the outer shell once you notice water stops beading on the surface.
  4. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it compressed in a bag for long periods to prevent creases that may damage the membrane.
  5. Compatibility: The jacket is cut for a standard fit, allowing for moderate layering underneath, such as a fleece or a light synthetic mid-layer.
