Full details

The Craghoppers Vanth Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult adventurers who require reliable protection against unpredictable weather without sacrificing mobility. Featuring advanced Aqua Dry fabric technology and a durable TPU membrane, this jacket excels at keeping you dry during heavy downpours while remaining breathable for active pursuits; however, it is specifically optimized for men's sizing, which may require careful consideration if you are looking for a unisex or slim-fit profile.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, but use a cool cycle and a specialized technical wash for waterproof clothing to protect the membrane.

Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?

The jacket is cut for a standard fit, so it should accommodate a mid-layer, provided you select your correct size.

Is the hood removable?

The Craghoppers Vanth features a fixed hood designed for maximum seal against wind and rain.

What does the map pocket fit?

The map pocket is designed to hold standard-sized folding topographical maps or personal digital devices.

How does the sizing run?

The jacket follows standard adult male sizing. Please refer to the brand's size guide for exact chest and waist measurements.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical DWR waterproofing spray.

Feeling damp inside the jacket after heavy activity

Ensure you are not over-layering. Even breathable fabrics have limits; adjust your base layers to manage perspiration better.

Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate

Clear any debris from the zipper teeth and gently clean with a soft brush; applying a small amount of zipper lubricant can also help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection with Aqua Dry technology
  • Breathable construction prevents overheating during moderate exertion
  • Multiple secure pockets including a map-specific compartment
  • Adjustable cuffs and hem provide a tailored, protective fit
  • Reflective elements increase safety for evening trekking

Cons

  • Limited to adult male sizing, which may not suit all body types
  • Requires proper maintenance to preserve the TPU membrane integrity
  • Minimal venting options beyond standard breathability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the jacket's waterproof performance, wash it on a cool cycle using a technical fabric cleaner designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable membrane and degrade the Aqua Dry technology. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging. When drying, it is recommended to air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources. If you notice water no longer 'beading' off the surface, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after cleaning to restore the hydrophobic finish.
