Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Expert Basecamp Shell Jacket is designed for adults seeking reliable waterproof protection for everyday outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its high-performance AquaDry Membrane construction and H2OShield DWR finish, offering agile protection in wet conditions. A potential caveat is its focus on functional protection, which might mean a less insulated feel for very cold, static situations.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, this is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and breathable protection. It is not insulated for warmth and is intended to be layered over other clothing for warmth.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood has drawcords at the front and back. Tighten these to adjust the fit around your face and secure the hood, especially in windy conditions.

What does 'AquaDry' mean?

AquaDry is Craghoppers' technology that ensures the fabric is waterproof and breathable, keeping you dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside.

Can I wear this jacket in very hot weather?

While the jacket is breathable, it is designed for protection. In very hot and humid conditions, you may find it retains some heat. However, its breathability is superior to non-breathable waterproofs.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or after several washes, typically every few washes or when performance decreases.

What is the H2OShield DWR finish?

H2OShield is a Durable Water Repellent finish applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, enhancing the jacket's waterproof performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a DWR treatment as per product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider. If still stiff, apply a graphite pencil or wax along the zipper teeth.

Reduced breathability

The jacket's pores may be blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner or a small amount of non-biological liquid detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance.
  • Durable construction with fully taped seams.
  • Comfortable and allows for freedom of movement.
  • Adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem for a customized fit.
  • Practical pocket storage.

Cons

  • May be too breathable for extreme cold without layering.
  • The lining material might not be ideal for users sensitive to synthetic textures.
  • Designed for protection, not for insulated warmth on its own.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zippers are closed and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem to your desired fit before heading out.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for unisex adult wear and can be layered over various types of clothing, from t-shirts to fleece mid-layers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a non-biological detergent.
  2. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Detergents: Do not use fabric conditioner or bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry.
  5. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, periodically re-proof using a wash-in or spray-on waterproofer suitable for technical outdoor clothing.
