FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Dades jacket is made from polyester fleece, which is designed for warmth rather than water resistance. It should be worn under a waterproof shell in rainy conditions.

What is the best way to clean the fleece?

Wash it inside out on a cool cycle (30 degrees) and avoid fabric softeners to keep the pile soft and insulating.

Does this jacket have an adjustable hood?

No, this specific model features a high-neck collar design rather than a hood.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket has a relaxed fit. If you prefer a more tailored look or plan to wear it primarily as a standalone piece, you may consider sizing down, but otherwise, standard sizing is recommended.

Are the pockets large enough for a modern smartphone?

Yes, the patch and zip pockets are designed to accommodate modern smartphones and other daily essentials securely.

Troubleshooting

Zipper sticking or catching on fleece fabric

Gently pull the fleece fibers away from the zipper track and ensure no debris is caught in the teeth before zipping up.

Fleece appearing matted or flat after washing

Once the jacket is dry, gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled garment brush to lift the fibers and restore its loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio due to borg fleece
  • Functional storage with lined pockets
  • Adjustable hem for custom wind protection
  • Durable polyester construction
  • Stylish colour-block design

Cons

  • Not windproof, may require a shell in extreme gales
  • Bulky design can be difficult to pack into small bags
  • Polyester pile may pill over time if not washed correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Craghoppers Dades jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can mat the borg fleece pile.
  2. Drying: Air dry the garment by laying it flat or hanging it on a sturdy hanger. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can degrade the synthetic fibers.
  3. Layering: This jacket works best with a synthetic or merino base layer to manage moisture, as polyester pile is not inherently moisture-wicking against the skin.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Because of the high-pile fabric, avoid compressing it under heavy items for extended periods.
