FAQs
What is the primary function of the EcoShield PFC-free DWR finish?
The EcoShield PFC-free DWR finish is a durable water-repellent treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off the jacket's surface, helping to keep the outer fabric dry and enhancing the jacket's overall waterproof performance.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold winter conditions?
Yes, the high-loft insulation provides warmth suitable for cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering a thicker fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath is recommended.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart for women's jackets and measure your chest, waist, and hip circumference. Compare these measurements to the chart to find the best fit. Consider if you prefer a more snug fit or room for multiple layers.
Is the hood removable?
The jacket features a 'grow-on' hood, meaning it is attached to the jacket and not designed to be removed. It is adjustable for a secure fit.
What type of pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket is equipped with 5 pockets. These typically include handwarmer pockets and chest or internal pockets, often secured with zippers or stud fastenings for safety.
How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?
Re-apply the DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the fabric surface. This can vary depending on usage and how frequently the jacket is washed, but typically after every 5-10 washes or when performance degrades.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure the main zipper is fully closed and the stormflap is fastened. Check that the DWR finish is still effective; if not, re-apply a PFC-free DWR treatment after cleaning the jacket according to care instructions. Also, ensure the AquaDry membrane has not been compromised by harsh cleaning agents.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Confirm that the internal insulation is evenly distributed and not compressed. Ensure all seals (hood, cuffs, hem) are tightened to prevent drafts. The jacket's warmth is designed for layering; consider adding a warmer mid-layer if temperatures are extremely low.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper slider.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a specialized technical wash or a mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the waterproof and DWR finishes.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources.
- Re-proofing: To restore water repellency, apply a PFC-free DWR spray after washing and drying, following the product's instructions. This can usually be done after washing and while the garment is slightly damp or dry.
