FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket features an EcoShield DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which means it can repel light rain and snow but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell would be recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent. Tumble dry on a low heat with tennis balls to help restore loft. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.

What does 'welded baffles' mean?

Welded baffles are constructed without traditional stitching, which helps to minimize heat loss and prevent insulation from shifting, thereby enhancing the jacket's thermal efficiency and durability.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket provides good warmth for its weight. For extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over base and mid-layers for optimal insulation.

What is the RFID blocking pocket for?

The RFID blocking pocket is designed to prevent unauthorized scanning of the data stored on your credit cards, passports, or other RFID-enabled devices, providing an added layer of security.

How much does the jacket weigh?

The jacket is designed to be lightweight. Specific weight details are not provided, but its construction with 100% Polyester and advanced insulation aims for a high warmth-to-weight ratio.

Is this jacket suitable for women?

This specific product is listed as 'Male' in its attributes. Craghoppers may offer similar models designed for women.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses its water repellency

Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions. Reapply a DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel.

Reduced loft or warmth after washing

Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying on a low heat with clean tennis balls. This helps to break up clumps of insulation.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
