FAQs

What is ThermoPro fill?

ThermoPro is a high-performance synthetic insulation designed by Craghoppers. It mimics the warmth and softness of natural down but offers superior performance in damp conditions and is a cruelty-free alternative.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Craghoppers Compresslite IX Hooded Jacket features an H2OShield water-repellent finish, meaning it will repel light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy downpours, an additional waterproof shell is recommended.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket. Please refer to the care label for specific instructions, but generally, a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

How small does the jacket pack down?

The jacket is designed to be super-compressible and packs down into its own integrated stuff sack. It can fit easily into a backpack, suitcase, or even a larger purse, making it highly portable.

Is this jacket suitable for winter sports like skiing?

While it provides excellent warmth, the Compresslite IX jacket is generally suited as a mid-layer for winter sports or as an outer layer in milder conditions. For full protection during skiing or snowboarding, it should be paired with a waterproof and windproof outer shell, and possibly warmer layers depending on the temperature.

What is the material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester for both the outer fabric and the ThermoPro insulation. This material choice contributes to its lightweight, quick-drying, and durable properties.

Is this a men's or women's jacket?

Based on the product information, this specific variant of the Craghoppers Compresslite IX Hooded Jacket is designed for adult females.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't feel warm enough in mild cold.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers underneath. For colder temperatures, consider layering a fleece or thermal top beneath the jacket. Check that the elasticated cuffs, face, and hem are snug to prevent cold air entry.

Water isn't beading off the jacket as effectively as before.

The H2OShield finish may need to be revitalized. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and if the issue persists, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for technical outerwear.

Difficulty packing the jacket into its stuff sack.

Ensure you are squeezing out as much air as possible as you fold and roll the jacket tightly. Start from the bottom hem and work your way up towards the hood, steadily compressing it as you go. Practice makes perfect.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for on-demand insulation
  • Highly compressible and packs into its own stuff sack for portability
  • Water-repellent (H2OShield) and wind-resistant for varying weather
  • Synthetic ThermoPro fill offers warmth even when damp
  • Comfortable fit with elasticated cuffs, face, and hem
  • Durable polyester material for outdoor use

Cons

  • Not a fully waterproof jacket, only water-repellent
  • Synthetic insulation may not be as breathable as some natural fibers during high exertion
  • Info needed: Specific temperature rating may not suit extreme cold as a standalone
  • The hood is not detachable (fixed design)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use

  1. Unpack: Simply remove the jacket from its integrated stuff sack. The ThermoPro fill will expand quickly to its full loft.
  2. Wear: Zip up and adjust the hood as needed to seal in warmth.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This jacket is designed to be highly versatile. Wear it over a base layer for active use, or under a waterproof shell (like a hardshell or softshell jacket) for added protection in severe weather.
  • Gear: It pairs well with other outdoor gear such as backpacks (due to its low bulk), hiking boots, and trail pants.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Compresslite IX jacket.

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-repellent finish and insulation.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help restore loft, or lay flat to air dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the jacket uncompressed to maintain the loft of the ThermoPro fill. Only compress it into its stuff sack for travel or when space is at a premium.
  • Re-proofing: Over time, the H2OShield water-repellent finish may wear off. You can restore it using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel. Always follow the product's instructions.
