FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the AquaDry Membrane?
The AquaDry Membrane is designed to provide excellent waterproof protection, keeping you dry even in heavy rain.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for wet weather. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice the fabric is no longer beading water effectively, typically after several washes or extensive use in wet conditions. Follow the instructions on your chosen DWR product.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and fabric softeners.
What does the 'H2OShield finish' do?
The H2OShield finish is an additional treatment that enhances the fabric's ability to repel water, causing it to bead and roll off the surface.
Is this jacket part of a specific collection?
Yes, this jacket is part of the exclusive Craghoppers National Trust Collection, which combines outdoor performance with a focus on heritage.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer beading water effectively
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Water seeping through seams or fabric
Ensure seams are intact. If the fabric or seams are compromised, professional repair or replacement may be necessary. The AquaDry membrane may be damaged.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity
While the AquaDry membrane offers waterproofing, breathability can be affected by high exertion. Wear moisture-wicking base layers and consider opening zippers if available for ventilation.
