TOG24 Craven Waterproof Jacket - Blue - XXL

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind protection. While it can be layered with warm clothing, it does not have significant insulation and is best suited for moderate temperatures or as an outer shell in colder conditions.

You can use a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment. Always follow the specific instructions on the product you purchase, as application methods can vary. Typically, it involves cleaning the jacket first and then applying the treatment before drying.

The jacket is breathable, making it suitable for moderate physical activity. For very high-intensity sports where significant perspiration occurs, you might experience some clamminess depending on the environmental conditions.

'Packaway' means the jacket is designed to be easily folded or rolled up into a small size, making it convenient to carry in a backpack or bag when not in use.

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed for long periods, as this can affect the waterproofing and breathability treatments over time. Hanging it or loosely folding it is recommended.

Waterproof fabric is designed to prevent water from passing through it entirely. Water-repellent coating causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, providing protection from light rain and spray, but it can eventually be overwhelmed by heavy or prolonged rain.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Re-apply a water-repellent coating if the existing one has worn off, following product instructions. Check that the zipper and any closures are fully secured.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Consider washing with a technical wash product designed for waterproof/breathable fabrics. Verify that the weather conditions are within the jacket's breathable capacity.

Clean the zipper area gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil rub to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
