Craghoppers Expert Base Camp II Softshell Jacket - Green - S

The jacket features a water-repellent finish that is effective against light rain and showers. For heavy or prolonged rain, it is recommended to wear a dedicated waterproof outer shell over this softshell jacket.

Refer to the brand's sizing guide, which usually provides chest, waist, and sleeve measurements. The jacket is designed for adult males and can accommodate a base layer or light fleece underneath.

This softshell jacket provides insulation and wind resistance, making it suitable for mild winter days or as a mid-layer under a warmer, waterproof jacket for colder conditions. It is not a heavy-duty winter coat on its own.

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Re-apply when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Softshell jackets offer a balance of breathability, stretch, water resistance, and wind resistance, providing comfort and flexibility for active use in moderate weather conditions.

Information regarding a removable hood is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the product's specific tag or manufacturer's website for details on hood features.

Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can affect repellency.

Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure zippers are fully closed. The effectiveness of wind resistance is relative to fabric density and construction.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
