Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Ponsa Waterproof Shell Jacket is designed for adult men who prioritize mobility and weather protection during active outdoor pursuits. This jacket offers a significant advantage through its AquaDry Membrane stretch construction, which provides a balance of high-level waterproofing and breathability in unpredictable climates. While it is highly capable in wet conditions, users should note that as a dedicated shell, it functions best as an outer layer rather than a standalone insulated garment.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the AquaDry Membrane provides a reliable barrier against wind, helping to retain warmth in exposed conditions.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Refer to the specific care label inside your garment, though air drying is generally recommended to preserve the membrane's integrity.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a practical design intended for active use; please check the specific drawcord configurations on your model.
What should I wear underneath for winter?
We recommend a thermal base layer and a synthetic or down mid-layer to maximize warmth while maintaining breathability.
Does the fabric make a loud rustling noise?
The stretch construction is designed to be quieter and more flexible than traditional, stiff waterproof shells.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is likely moisture buildup from sweat. Ensure your layering system includes moisture-wicking materials and avoid over-layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a shell jacket, setup is as simple as layering it correctly based on the season. To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, always follow the care label instructions. It is machine washable, but it is recommended to use technical garment cleaners rather than standard laundry detergents, which can clog the breathable pores of the membrane. Periodically check the jacket for signs of water no longer 'beading' on the surface, which may indicate that a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-application is necessary to restore performance.
