Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Expert Mens Base Camp II Softshell Jacket is designed for active adults seeking reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is its water and wind resistance, making it suitable for a variety of outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its specific use as a softshell, which may not offer the same level of extreme weather protection as a hardshell jacket. This jacket features a durable water repellent finish, wind resistance, and convenient zipped pockets, all constructed from polyester.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which repels light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof hardshell jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket provides insulation and wind resistance, making it suitable for cool to mild temperatures. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over warmer clothing.

What does 'wind resistant' mean for this jacket?

Wind resistant means the fabric offers a significant barrier against wind, reducing wind chill and keeping you more comfortable in breezy conditions. It is not fully windproof like some specialized jackets.

How often should I reapply the DWR finish?

The DWR finish naturally wears off with use and washing. It's recommended to reapply when you notice water is no longer beading up on the surface. This can be done with a spray or wash-in treatment.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from polyester, offering durability and quick-drying properties.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing

Reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting. For a more thorough refresh, apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to product instructions.

Jacket feels damp inside

This can occur in very humid conditions or during high-intensity activities due to perspiration. The softshell is designed for moderate breathability; consider a more technical jacket for extreme exertion or very wet weather.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stuck, use a graphite pencil tip or a silicone-based lubricant on the zipper teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

  • Lightweight and insulating for comfortable wear.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for extreme weather conditions.
  • Primarily designed for moderate temperatures.
  • Limited breathability compared to highly technical activewear.
