The jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
It is ideal for hiking, walking, commuting, travel, and casual everyday wear. Its stretch and breathability make it suitable for active pursuits in mild to cool conditions.
As a softshell, it provides insulation and wind resistance. For very cold winter conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer over a warm base layer and potentially under a more robust outer shell.
Machine wash at 30-40°C with a mild liquid detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically, following product instructions.
H2O Shield refers to Craghoppers' technology that provides a durable water-repellent finish to the fabric, helping to repel water and water-based stains.
The snug striped microfleece inner provides a soft, insulating layer that adds warmth and comfort against the skin.
Yes, the jacket features two zipped pockets, which provide secure storage for your personal items.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.
This can be caused by detergent or softener residue. Wash the jacket again using a technical cleaner or a small amount of liquid detergent, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant) to the teeth to improve smoothness.
Some minor pilling is normal with fleece materials over time. To minimize, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive contact. Trim any loose pills with small scissors if necessary.
