Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Expert Packable Jacket II is designed for adults seeking reliable protection against unpredictable weather during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant coverage in a lightweight, packable design. A potential caveat is that while it offers core protection, it may not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional layers. This jacket features AquaDry ripstop fabric with H2OShield technology, a grown-on adjustable hood, two zipped handwarmer pockets, and packs into its own pocket for ultimate portability.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides waterproof and wind-resistant protection. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warmer clothing such as fleece jackets or insulated mid-layers.

How do I ensure the waterproof and breathable features remain effective?

Regular cleaning according to care instructions and periodic re-application of a DWR finish will help maintain the jacket's performance.

Can I pack other items in the zipped pockets while the jacket is packed?

No, the jacket is designed to be packed into one of its own pockets. Once packed, the pockets are not accessible.

What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?

Waterproof means it can withstand significant water pressure, while water-resistant means it can repel light rain but may eventually soak through under heavy or prolonged exposure.

How should I wash the jacket if it gets dirty?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

What does 'ripstop' fabric mean?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. Stronger threads are interwoven at regular intervals.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and water. Apply a wax-based lubricant (like a candle or specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Seams appear to be leaking water

Ensure all seams are intact. If damage is present, professional repair may be needed. For minor issues, specialized seam sealant could be applied.
