FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the H2OShield finish?
The H2OShield plant-based water repellent finish helps to shed light rain and moisture, keeping the fabric from becoming saturated and providing comfort in damp conditions.
How warm is the MicroFleece back panel?
The MicroFleece back panel is designed to provide insulating warmth, making the jacket suitable for cooler temperatures and as a mid-layer.
Can this jacket be used in heavy rain?
The jacket is wind-resistant and has a water-repellent finish, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. For prolonged or heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How should I care for this jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash at 30°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Reapplying water repellent finish may be necessary if performance decreases over time.
Are there other sizes or colors available for this jacket model?
Yes, this jacket model (MPN: CEL007) is available in various sizes and colors. Please check the product listing or sibling products for other options.
Is this jacket suitable for intense physical activity?
While lightweight and breathable, the jacket is best suited for moderate activities or casual wear. For high-intensity sports where significant sweat is generated, consider a base layer and outer shell designed for extreme moisture management.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced.
Wash the jacket and then tumble dry on a low heat setting. If the performance has not returned, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to product instructions.
Jacket feels too tight or loose.
Consult the Craghoppers sizing chart to ensure you have selected the correct size. If purchased, check for available sibling products in different sizes.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth if needed.
