Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Selside Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, versatile outer layer for transitional and changeable weather conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-pile fleece lining for warmth and H2OShield technology for wind and water resistance, making it an excellent choice for outdoor activities where conditions fluctuate. A potential caveat to keep in mind is that while it is highly water-repellent and wind-resistant, it is a soft shell construction and not a fully seam-sealed heavy-duty waterproof rain shell.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features H2OShield technology which is water-repellent and wind-resistant, meaning it is excellent for light rain and windy conditions, but it is not a fully waterproof seam-sealed rain jacket.
How do I clean the Selside Soft Shell?
Follow the garment care label inside the jacket; typically, a gentle wash with mild detergent is recommended. Avoid harsh fabric softeners which can compromise the technical coatings.
Can I adjust the cuffs?
Yes, the jacket includes touch-fastening cuff tabs that allow you to tighten the sleeve openings to prevent cold air from entering.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is constructed from durable polyester designed to be both lightweight and insulating.
Is the hood detachable?
The Craghoppers Selside model features a standing collar for a streamlined look and does not include a hood.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency seems to be wearing off
Wash the jacket to remove dirt that may be clogging the finish, and apply a DWR re-waterproofing treatment if necessary.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and gently clear any debris; you can use a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant if the stiffness persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the garment's care label. The synthetic polyester construction is durable but benefits from occasional washing to maintain the effectiveness of the H2OShield water-repellent finish. When the water-repellency begins to fade, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray wash to reactivate the protective coating. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup in the fleece lining. If you are layering, this jacket fits best over a thin long-sleeve tee or a performance base layer, as the interior is already insulated.
