FAQs
What does 'Aqua Dry' technology mean?
Aqua Dry is a Craghoppers fabric technology that provides waterproof and breathable protection against the elements.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is waterproof and water-repellent with a DWR finish, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged downpours or extreme weather, additional protection like a dedicated rain shell might be necessary.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the size guide provided in the product description. For this jacket, size XXXL corresponds to a 52-inch chest measurement.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 30°C. Follow the care instructions to maintain its performance.
What is the benefit of the microfleece lining?
The striped microfleece lining adds an extra layer of insulation, providing warmth and comfort against the skin.
How durable is the water-repellent finish?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps water bead off the fabric. Its effectiveness can diminish over time with wear and washing, but it can be restored with appropriate reproofing treatments.
What does 'relaxed fit' mean?
Relaxed fit indicates a looser cut than a slim or regular fit, allowing for more room for movement and for wearing layers underneath without feeling constricted.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Ensure all zips are fully closed. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reapplied; consider using a suitable reproofing spray or wash-in product. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.
Jacket feels cold or not insulating enough.
The jacket is designed for variable conditions and layering. Add a warmer mid-layer, such as a fleece or thermal top, underneath for increased insulation. Ensure the main zip is fully closed.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to work the zip back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zip lubricant to the teeth of the zip. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip.
