Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Expert Active Jacket is designed for active adults who need a reliable, high-performance outer layer for challenging weather conditions. Utilizing advanced Aqua Dry technology, it provides an effective barrier against wind and rain while maintaining breathability. While it excels in versatile outdoor performance, users should note that as a lightweight active jacket, it is optimized for movement rather than extreme sub-zero thermal insulation.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it is engineered with Aqua Dry technology to provide a waterproof and wind-resistant barrier against the elements.

Can I wear this jacket in the winter?

It is suitable for mild winter conditions when layered with thermal base layers, though it is not a heavy-duty insulated winter parka.

How should I clean my jacket?

Use a technical cleaner or a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, and air dry in a well-ventilated area.

Does the hood offer adjustability?

Yes, the jacket features an adjustable hood to ensure a secure fit that stays in place during windy conditions.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zip-secured, which provides good protection for your essentials, though they are not explicitly marketed as submersible-proof.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the surface of the jacket.

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment followed by low-heat tumble drying if instructed by the label.

Internal condensation buildup during heavy exertion.

Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers. Utilize the two-way zip to increase airflow during high-intensity sections of your activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Craghoppers Expert Active Jacket, ensure the hood and cuffs are adjusted to your specific frame before heading out into rain. Compatibility is high for layering; its active cut allows for a thin thermal base layer or a light fleece underneath without creating unnecessary bulk. For care, always check the internal garment tag for specific washing instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent suitable for waterproof membranes. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable fabric, significantly reducing its effectiveness. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the Aqua Dry technology, and periodic re-treatment with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray will help maintain the jacket's water-beading performance over time.
