Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Vanth Waterproof Jacket is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who require reliable protection against wet weather without compromising on breathability. Featuring advanced Aqua Dry fabric technology and a durable TPU membrane, this jacket keeps you dry during sudden downpours while offering ample storage through its multi-pocket design. While it provides excellent shelter from the elements, users should note that the polyester construction is intended for layering rather than providing significant thermal insulation on its own.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the TPU membrane and tight-weave construction provide excellent wind resistance.

Can I wear this in extreme cold?

The jacket acts as a shell. It will protect you from rain and wind, but you must wear appropriate thermal mid-layers for warmth in freezing temperatures.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical gear cleaner. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is integrated into the design for better water protection.

What size should I choose?

The jacket follows standard sizing; if you plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider if you need extra room, though the L size is designed for a standard adult fit.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is likely wearing off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.

Build-up of internal moisture

Ensure the ventilation is optimized by adjusting the cuffs and hem; if the humidity inside is high, remove unnecessary mid-layers to improve airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance waterproof rating
  • Versatile storage options including a map pocket
  • Breathable design prevents overheating
  • Adjustable fit at hem and cuffs
  • Includes safety-conscious reflective detailing

Cons

  • Provides minimal intrinsic warmth
  • Polyester material may be noisier than soft-shell alternatives
  • Requires proper maintenance to keep the DWR finish effective

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with mid-layer fleeces or thermal base layers depending on the season. To ensure longevity, wash the garment using a mild, technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear rather than standard laundry detergent. Do not use fabric softeners, as these can strip the Aqua Dry waterproof coating. Tumble dry on a low heat setting periodically to reactivate the water-repellent finish, and inspect the touch-fastening cuffs for debris after trips to maintain their grip.
