FAQs
What does 'AquaDry waterproof & breathable' mean?
AquaDry is Craghoppers' technology that ensures the fabric is completely waterproof, preventing water from penetrating, while also allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside, keeping you dry and comfortable.
How do I care for the DWR finish?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps water bead off the fabric. To maintain it, wash the jacket using liquid detergent (no fabric softener) and tumble dry on a low heat after washing. You can also reapply a DWR treatment periodically.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It offers some insulation but is not a heavy-duty winter coat. For very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.
Can I wear a backpack with this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed for outdoor activities and is suitable for wearing with a backpack. The material is durable, and the cut allows for freedom of movement.
What is the 'O/S map pocket'?
O/S stands for Ordnance Survey, a UK-based mapping service. The O/S map pocket is an internal pocket specifically sized to conveniently and safely store a folded map.
What is the difference between this jacket and a non-waterproof shell?
This jacket is fully waterproof due to its AquaDry fabric and taped seams, offering protection from rain. A non-waterproof shell typically only provides wind resistance and some water repellency, not full waterproofing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If performance is still poor, consider reapplying a commercial DWR treatment.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Ensure the jacket's taped seams are clean and free from debris. For persistent leaks, the seam tape may be damaged, which is difficult to repair and may indicate the jacket has reached the end of its effective lifespan for heavy use.
Jacket feels damp inside during heavy rain.
While the jacket is waterproof, extreme prolonged exposure to heavy rain can eventually saturate the outer fabric, and breathability may be reduced. Ensure the garment was washed with liquid detergent (not powder) and rinsed thoroughly, as residue can affect performance. Check that all zippers and closures are fully secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women. Its sizing is based on standard UK measurements (Size 10 indicated in product data).
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Can also be air-dried. It is recommended to dry the garment after washing to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-Waterproofing: Over time, the DWR finish may diminish. You can reapply a waterproofing treatment (available from outdoor retailers) following the product instructions, usually after washing and tumble drying.
