Compresslite IX Hooded Insulating Jacket - Orange

Compresslite IX is a type of synthetic insulation used by Craghoppers that offers high compressibility and good warmth-to-weight ratio, designed to mimic the performance of down in a synthetic material.

The jacket features a water-repellent H2OShield finish, which means it can resist light moisture and showers. It is not fully waterproof and may not offer protection in heavy or prolonged rain.

You can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent and similar colours. Avoid using fabric softener.

After washing, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with dryer balls or clean tennis balls. This helps to break up any insulation clumps and re-fluff the material.

The jacket provides good insulation for cool to moderately cold temperatures, especially when layered. For extreme cold, additional warm layers underneath or a heavier outer jacket may be required.

It signifies that the jacket has an integrated hood for head warmth and is designed primarily to provide insulation against cold weather.

Yes, the Compresslite IX Hooded Insulating Jacket is designed to be super-compressible and comes with its own stuff sack for easy packing and portability.

After washing, tumble dry on a low heat with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore the loft of the synthetic insulation.
