Product Information

Full details

This guide is for outdoor enthusiasts seeking lightweight warmth without bulk. The Craghoppers Compresslite IX Insulating Vest provides core insulation using ThermoPro fill and a water-repellent finish. However, it's designed as a layering piece, so it may not be sufficient on its own in extreme cold. This vest is ideal for adding warmth under a waterproof shell or over a base layer during active pursuits in cooler weather. It features a compressible design for easy packing.

FAQs

What is ThermoPro fill?

ThermoPro is a high-loft synthetic insulation designed to trap heat and provide warmth.

Is the vest waterproof?

No, it is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain, but it is not fully waterproof. It has an H2OShield DWR finish.

Can I wear this vest in winter?

It's best used as part of a layering system. Wear it under a waterproof and windproof jacket for winter use.

How do I clean the vest?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.

What kind of pockets does it have?

The vest has zipped pockets for secure storage of small items.

Is the vest packable?

Yes, the vest is designed to be compressible for easy packing and storage.

What is the warranty?

Please refer to the Craghoppers warranty policy for details. It usually covers manufacturing defects.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels less warm than expected.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers. The vest is designed as part of a layering system.

Water is soaking through the vest's fabric.

The H2OShield finish provides water repellency, not complete waterproofing. Consider adding a waterproof outer layer in heavy rain.

Zippers are sticking.

Apply a zipper lubricant or gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.

The vest is losing its loft.

Follow the care instructions carefully, especially when washing and drying, to preserve the insulation.
