Full details
The TOG24 Craven Waterproof Jacket in Purple is designed for adult females seeking reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is excellent waterproofing and wind resistance, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that while breathable, heavy exertion might still lead to some clamminess for very active users.

It also includes an adjustable hood and hem, and packs down into its own mesh bag.

FAQs
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is primarily made from 100% Polyamide (Nylon) for the main fabric.
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, it features waterproof fabric, fully taped seams, and a water-repellent coating, making it suitable for protection against rain.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket is designed to pack down into its own matching mesh bag, which usually comes with it for easy storage and transport.
What type of lining does the jacket have?
It has a soft mesh lining on the body and smooth taffeta lining in the sleeves for easy arm movement.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. For cold weather, you will need to layer insulating clothing underneath.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Refer to the garment's care label for specific instructions.
What does 'packaway' mean?
'Packaway' means the jacket can be easily folded or compressed into a small size, often its own integrated stuff sack, for convenient carrying.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The water-repellent finish may need to be reactivated. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting with a clean tennis ball. If this doesn't help, consider applying a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
While the jacket is breathable, intense physical activity can sometimes lead to perspiration build-up. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers. Check that vents, if present, are open. For less intense activity, consider wearing lighter layers underneath.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt residue. Once dry, you can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Hood or hem adjustment toggles are loose.
Check the cord ends; they should be securely fastened to the toggle. If the cord itself is frayed or damaged, it may need to be replaced. Ensure the toggle is functioning correctly and not broken.

Care Instructions:
Always refer to the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions. General care recommendations for maintaining the jacket's waterproof and water-repellent properties include:

- Rinsing: Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a clean towel or tennis balls to help reactivate the water-repellent finish. Alternatively, air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Re-Waterproofing: If the water-repellent finish appears to be diminishing (water no longer beads on the surface), apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions, typically followed by a tumble dry on low heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before long-term storage.
