The Craghoppers Expert Mens Base Camp II Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking protection from the elements during outdoor activities or work. Its key benefit is its water-repellent and wind-resistant finish, keeping you dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that it's primarily a softshell, so it may not offer extreme warmth in very cold conditions. This jacket features a durable water-repellent finish (H2OShield), wind resistance, and secure zipped pockets.

This jacket is best suited for mild to cool conditions with light rain and wind. It offers water repellency and wind resistance, making it ideal for hiking, outdoor work, or daily wear in such environments.
The jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, making it water-repellent, not fully waterproof. It will resist light rain and splashes but may not withstand prolonged heavy downpours.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Reapply DWR treatment periodically to restore water repellency.
While the jacket offers some insulation, it is a softshell and may not be warm enough on its own for very cold temperatures. It is best layered over warmer clothing for colder conditions.
H2OShield is Craghoppers' proprietary technology for a durable water-repellent finish, designed to repel water and stains from the fabric's surface.
Yes, as a softshell jacket, it offers a degree of breathability. However, it is less breathable than highly technical shells designed for intense aerobic activities.
You can use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment. Follow the specific instructions on the DWR product you choose, which typically involves washing the garment and then applying the treatment, often followed by tumble drying to activate it.
Clean the jacket with a mild detergent and consider re-applying a DWR treatment or tumble drying on a low heat setting to reactivate the existing finish.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Fabric softeners or dirt can clog the membrane. Wash with a technical wash and rinse thoroughly. Check if the internal fabric is damp; if so, allow it to air dry completely.
Clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Check if the outer fabric is saturated. If the DWR has worn off, the fabric can absorb moisture, making it feel like seam leaks. Re-apply DWR. If the seams are physically damaged, professional repair may be needed.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males. Available in various sizes (e.g., M, XL, XXL, XXXL) and colors (Grey, Blue, Black, Green). Fits standard adult male body types.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's water-repellent properties and overall condition:
