This Craghoppers Expert Basecamp II Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking versatile, agile protection for everyday wear and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is offering a balance of water repellency, wind resistance, and insulation through its dual-layer construction. A potential caveat is that its design is focused on general use, not extreme weather conditions. It features a stretchy, water-repellent outer face and a soft, insulating striped microfleece inner, making it a practical layering piece with two zipped pockets for secure storage.

No, the jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes, but it is not a fully waterproof garment and is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, using a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric conditioners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
H2OShield is Craghoppers' proprietary durable water-repellent finish that helps the fabric repel water and water-based stains.
The jacket provides insulation with its microfleece lining and wind resistance, making it suitable for cool weather. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as a mid-layer over warmer garments.
The jacket is made of polyester with a stretchy outer face and a microfleece inner.
To maintain water repellency, you can use a fabric re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment available from outdoor gear retailers. Follow the specific product's instructions carefully.
Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a suitable fabric re-proofer designed for outdoor apparel.
Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or fabric conditioners. Tumble drying on a low heat can sometimes help restore softness.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of silicone lubricant or graphite from a pencil can sometimes help smooth operation.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack and wear.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women, suitable for layering over base layers, t-shirts, or lighter sweaters. It pairs well with a wide range of casual trousers and footwear.
