FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish and is wind-resistant, making it suitable for light to moderate rain and wind. It is not considered a fully waterproof jacket for prolonged heavy downpours.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the Craghoppers sizing guide available on the product page or retailer's website. Measure your chest, waist, and sleeve length for accurate comparison.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a mild process. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or line dry.

How often should I reapply the water repellent finish?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Generally, reapply when you notice water is no longer beading up on the surface and is being absorbed by the fabric. Typically, this might be after several washes.

What is the main benefit of the H2OShield finish?

H2OShield provides durable water repellency, which means water beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, helping to keep you dry from rain and protecting the material from water-based stains.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket offers insulation for warmth. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over additional thermal clothing.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Follow the care instructions to wash the jacket and then apply a suitable DWR reproofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Jacket feels less windproof.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check for any tears or damage in the fabric which might compromise wind resistance.

Zippers are stiff or sticking.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and some mild soap and water. Once dry, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
