FAQs

What does 'H2OShield' mean?

H2OShield is Craghoppers' fabric technology that provides a durable water-repellent finish, helping to keep you dry in light rain and wet conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

This jacket is designed with a water-repellent finish, making it suitable for light rain and changeable conditions. For prolonged or heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

How do I know if I need a larger or smaller size?

Please refer to the sizing chart provided: S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 43 in, XL: 46 in, XXL: 49 in, 3XL: 52 in. Chest measurements are key.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket offers insulation and wind resistance, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal garments is advised.

What type of detergent should I use?

It is recommended to use a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can negatively impact the fabric's performance.

How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Reapply a DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the fabric surface.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Reapply a DWR treatment to restore water repellency.

Jacket feels too loose

Consider layering with a thicker base layer or mid-layer for a snugger fit. The relaxed fit is designed to accommodate layers.

Zip is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure the fabric around the zip is clear. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zip teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eco-friendly material due to high recycled polyester content.
  • Effective protection against wind and light rain.
  • Comfortable and warm for cooler outdoor activities.
  • Practical storage with zipped side pockets.
  • Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish for added protection.

Cons

  • Relaxed fit might not be ideal for those seeking a slim profile.
  • Primarily designed for light to moderate weather, not heavy downpours.
  • Limited insulation compared to dedicated winter jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup beyond wearing it. It is compatible with most outdoor clothing and accessories. To maintain its performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Use a non-biological detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically, following the product instructions. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can degrade the fabric's properties.
