Craghoppers Expert Basecamp Shell Jacket - Blue, XL

This is a shell jacket designed for waterproof protection. It does not provide significant insulation on its own and is best layered with warm clothing for cold conditions.

The need to reapply depends on usage and care. Typically, it is recommended when water no longer beads on the surface, often after several washes or significant wear.

It is best to use a small amount of liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor gear. Harsh detergents and fabric conditioners can damage the waterproof and breathable properties.

AquaDry is Craghoppers' proprietary waterproof and breathable technology. The membrane allows water vapor to escape from the inside while preventing liquid water from entering from the outside.

This pocket is sized to conveniently store an OS (Ordnance Survey) map, allowing for quick access during outdoor navigation.

Yes, the design is unisex, catering to both men and women.

Check that the DWR finish is active. If not, re-apply a DWR treatment. Ensure all zippers are fully closed and seams are intact.

Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening zippers if applicable. Make sure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and that the jacket's care instructions (avoiding fabric conditioner) have been followed.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions without fabric conditioner. Then, tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes or iron on a low setting to reactivate the DWR.
