Craghoppers Naima Longline Jacket - Cream

The Naima Longline Jacket is designed as a waterproof shell for seasonal showers. While it offers wind protection, it is lightweight and may not provide sufficient warmth on its own in very cold temperatures. Layering with insulating clothing underneath is recommended for colder conditions.

The hydrostatic head rating (30,000mm) indicates the jacket's water resistance. A higher rating means it can withstand greater water pressure before leaking, making it highly waterproof.

A breathability rating of 30,000g/m²/24hrs means the jacket can allow a significant amount of water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside out per square meter over a 24-hour period, helping to keep you comfortable during physical activity.

It is recommended to use a mild, non-biological detergent or a specialized technical wash. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or biological detergents, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes and the DWR finish.

The frequency depends on usage and care. Signs that the DWR needs refreshing include water no longer beading on the surface. Tumble drying can often reactivate it, or you may need to apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment periodically.

The vented back improves air circulation, allowing heat and moisture to escape more easily. This enhances comfort during physical activity and warmer weather, preventing you from overheating.

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester. Additionally, the H2OShield DWR finish is at least 50% plant-based and PFAS compliant, indicating a focus on sustainable materials and finishes.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivation. Try tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting with a couple of clean tennis balls. If this doesn't fully restore performance, a reproofing treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics can be applied.

Ensure the jacket's breathability is not compromised. Check that the internal fabric is clean and free from residues. If you've recently washed it with harsh detergents or fabric softeners, this can affect breathability. Ensure the garment has been washed and rinsed thoroughly according to care instructions.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Once dry, apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to help it slide smoothly.
