Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Ponsa Jacket is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is the combination of waterproof, breathable fabric with articulated sleeves for freedom of movement, making it ideal for hiking and walking. A potential caveat is that while durable, it's primarily a shell and may require layering for extreme cold.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Craghoppers Ponsa Jacket is a waterproof shell designed for protection against rain and wind. It does not have built-in insulation and is intended to be layered with warm clothing in colder weather.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a mild, non-biological detergent. Rinse thoroughly and hang dry. Do not tumble dry or use fabric softener.

What does 'AquaDry' mean?

AquaDry is Craghoppers' proprietary fabric technology that ensures the material is both waterproof and breathable, keeping you dry from external rain and internal moisture.

Can I use this jacket in heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket features AquaDry waterproof fabric and fully taped seams, making it suitable for protection in moderate to heavy rainfall.

What is the purpose of the adjustable hem?

The adjustable hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket to prevent wind and rain from entering, helping to retain body heat and improve comfort.

Are the reflective logos purely decorative?

No, the reflective logos are designed to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or overcast weather, contributing to your safety outdoors.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in compressed states, which can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties over time. A loosely folded state is ideal.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a re-waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor apparel.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide. Avoid excessive force.

Breathability seems reduced

The fabric pores may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, ensuring a thorough rinse. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede breathability.

Seams appear to be leaking

Inspect the taped seams for any damage or delamination. If damage is visible, contact customer support. Ensure washing does not involve harsh chemicals that could degrade seam tape.
