Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Expert Basecamp II soft shell jacket is designed for women who need a versatile, wind-resistant outer layer for changeable outdoor conditions. Featuring H2OShield technology, it provides excellent protection against light moisture and wind while maintaining a relaxed fit that is perfect for layering during transitional seasons. While highly functional for everyday outdoor use and commuting, please note that it is designed as a soft shell for light precipitation rather than a fully waterproof hard shell for heavy storms.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is water-repellent and wind-resistant, meaning it handles light rain well, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof jacket.

Does it contain recycled materials?

Yes, the shell is made from 97% recycled polyester.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool water. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket features a relaxed fit to allow for layering, so it should align with your standard size.

Is the hood adjustable?

The Expert Basecamp II features a high-neck silhouette but does not include a hood.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads off the fabric surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the garment and apply a DWR re-proofer spray according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Zipper feels stiff or stuck

Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a graphite pencil along the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Wind-resistant properties keep you warm in shifting weather
  • Uses recycled materials for improved sustainability
  • Practical zip-secured pockets
  • Relaxed fit allows for easy layering of sweaters or thermals

Cons

  • Not intended for prolonged heavy rainfall
  • Limited color range focus
  • Minimalist aesthetic may lack technical features for extreme mountaineering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-repellent properties of the H2OShield finish, wash the jacket in cool water with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the technical fabric. It is recommended to air dry the garment to protect the recycled polyester fibers. The jacket is highly compatible with a variety of outdoor gear, fitting smoothly under heavier waterproof shells if you need extra protection in severe weather. When sizing, lean towards your standard size if you prefer a streamlined look, or choose your size based on how many layers you intend to wear underneath.
