Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Ponsa Waterproof Shell Jacket is designed for adult men who require a reliable, high-performance outer layer for active outdoor pursuits in unpredictable weather. Featuring AquaDry Membrane technology, this jacket offers a balance of waterproof protection and breathability, though its streamlined, pared-back design means it lacks some of the heavy-duty features found in specialized mountaineering shells.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the AquaDry Membrane provides effective wind resistance, helping to block chill during windy days on the trail.
Can I wear this for winter sports?
While it provides excellent weather protection, it is a shell jacket and does not contain insulation. It is best used for winter sports when combined with appropriate thermal layering.
How should I clean the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Use a mild technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear and a gentle cycle.
What does the AquaDry membrane do?
It acts as a barrier to liquid water from the outside while allowing perspiration from the inside to escape, keeping you comfortable.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket is designed for an active fit. If you plan to wear heavy layers underneath, you may want to ensure you have selected the appropriate size for your layering needs.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the outer layer
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical garment cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment.
Excessive condensation inside the jacket
Ensure your layering system is breathable. Avoid cotton base layers, which trap sweat, and adjust your front zipper to vent excess heat during high-exertion periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating, machine wash the jacket in cool water with a technical outerwear cleaner. Avoid using standard laundry detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish from the polyester surface. Always hang dry the jacket in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent damage to the seam taping. For storage, hang the jacket in a ventilated closet rather than folding it tightly for long periods to maintain the integrity of the membrane.
