Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Complite IX Hooded Jacket (CMN323) is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable protection and warmth in variable weather conditions. Its key benefit lies in its dual-action H2OShield finish for water repellency and enhanced mid-level insulation for comfort. A potential consideration is its packable nature, which may mean a slightly less structured fit compared to heavier, non-compressible jackets.

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for transitional weather, offering protection from light rain, wind, and providing moderate warmth. It's suitable for cool to mild conditions.

How do I make the jacket water repellent again?

After washing and drying, you can restore the water repellency by applying a DWR treatment, available from outdoor gear retailers. Follow the product's specific application instructions.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold temperatures?

While it provides good mid-level insulation, for very cold temperatures, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer insulating garments.

How small does the jacket pack down?

The jacket is designed to pack away into its own stow bag, making it very compact for easy storage in a backpack or luggage.

What is the difference between this and a fully waterproof jacket?

This jacket features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which repels water. A fully waterproof jacket typically has a waterproof membrane and sealed seams for complete protection against heavy rain.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softener, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR treatment. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

The jacket provides mid-level insulation, best utilized as a layer. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base or mid-layers underneath for colder conditions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help smooth operation.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.

  3. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
  4. For best results in restoring water repellency, consider using a specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after several washes, following the product's instructions.
