Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Ponsa Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable, high-performance shell that balances wet-weather protection with active breathability. Its primary strength lies in its industry-leading 30,000mm hydrostatic head and high-breathability membrane, which keeps you dry without overheating during strenuous climbs. However, users should note that as a lightweight shell, it provides minimal insulation on its own, meaning it is best used as part of a layered clothing system in colder climates.

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the high-density construction of the fabric makes it entirely windproof, providing an excellent barrier against cold gusts.

Can I wear this jacket for skiing?

While it is waterproof, it is a shell jacket and lacks internal insulation, so it is best used for high-exertion activities or paired with a heavy insulating layer.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features integrated drawcords that allow you to cinch the fit around the face, and the reinforced peak ensures it stays in place during high winds.

Is the fabric noisy like some rain jackets?

The stretch material is quieter and softer to the touch than traditional crinkly hardshells, making it more comfortable for all-day wear.

What does the 30,000mm rating mean?

It indicates the fabric can withstand a column of water 30,000mm high before moisture penetrates, marking it as extremely waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the fabric surface

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and reapply a DWR spray treatment.

Inside feels damp while wearing

This is often caused by moisture buildup from perspiration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers to allow the jacket's breathability to function effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and breathability ratings
  • Lightweight, stretch-fabric construction for active movement
  • Eco-friendly, made with 100% recycled outer materials
  • Pack-compatible pocket placement
  • Reflective detailing for low-light visibility

Cons

  • No integrated thermal insulation
  • May require a fleece or base layer for winter use
  • Lightweight material is designed for agility, not heavy-duty abrasion resistance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Care Instructions:

  • Wash in cold or lukewarm water using a specialized technical cleaner suitable for waterproof gear.
  • Avoid standard laundry detergents and fabric softeners, as these can strip the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating from the surface.
  • Line dry in a shaded area away from direct heat sources.
  • If the water stops beading on the surface, you may reapply a DWR spray treatment to the outer fabric.

Compatibility:

  • Designed to fit comfortably over a base layer and a mid-layer (such as a fleece or lightweight down jacket) due to its versatile cut.
  • The adjustable hood is compatible with most head shapes and can be tightened to block out gale-force winds.
