Product Information

Full details

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.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

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.

How do I clean the jacket?

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.

What does 'H2OShield' mean?

H2OShield is Craghoppers' proprietary durable water-repellent finish that helps the fabric repel water and water-based stains.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

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.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made of polyester with a stretchy outer face and a microfleece inner.

How do I re-apply the water-repellent finish?

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.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a suitable fabric re-proofer designed for outdoor apparel.

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are not using harsh detergents or fabric conditioners. Tumble drying on a low heat can sometimes help restore softness.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

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.

  • Stretchy material allows for ease of movement.
  • Secure zipped pockets for valuables.

Cons

  • Not designed for heavy rain or extreme weather.
  • Striped pattern may not suit all personal styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours.
  • Detergent: Use a non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric conditioners or bleach, as these can damage the water-repellent finish.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry.
  • Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, a re-proofing treatment can be applied periodically following product instructions (typically after several washes).
