Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Expert Expolite Jacket is designed for adults seeking versatile outerwear for various weather conditions. Its key benefit is excellent warmth and protection without bulk, thanks to its recycled polyester filling and EcoShield technology. A potential caveat is its showerproof, not fully waterproof, rating, meaning it's best suited for light rain or drizzle rather than heavy downpours. This jacket offers features like RFID blocking, a packaway design, and a drawcord hem for a customizable fit.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features an EcoShield water-repellent finish, making it suitable for light rain or showers. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I know if the RFID blocking pocket is working?

The RFID blocking pocket is designed to prevent unauthorized scanning of cards or passports placed inside. Its effectiveness is passive and cannot be directly tested without specialized equipment, but it provides a layer of security against typical skimming attempts.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides good insulation for its weight, suitable for cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer or to layer additional thermal clothing underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric conditioner and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

What does 'Packaway' mean?

Packaway means the jacket can be easily folded or compressed into a small size, often into one of its own pockets or an included stuff sack, making it convenient for travel and storage.

What material is the filling made from?

The filling is made from 100% recycled polyester, providing warmth and insulation while utilizing sustainable resources.

Does the jacket have a hood?

This specific model features a standing collar but does not include a hood.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not shedding water effectively.

The EcoShield water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment according to the product instructions.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based zipper lubricant can help.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Check that the hem drawcord is tightened to prevent drafts. For colder conditions, consider layering a fleece or thermal base layer underneath.

Jacket has lost its shape after washing.

Ensure the care instructions were followed precisely. Avoid harsh spin cycles and excessive heat during drying. Gently reshape the jacket while damp and allow it to air dry.
