Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Lorton II Waterproof Jacket is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and hikers who require a high-performance shell that balances wet-weather protection with freedom of movement. Featuring the advanced AquaDry Membrane and a sustainable H2OShield finish, this jacket provides professional-grade waterproofing while remaining breathable for active pursuits. Please note that while it is highly technical, it acts as an outer shell, so base layers or mid-layers are recommended for insulation in colder climates.

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The Lorton II is a technical shell designed for weather protection rather than thermal insulation. It is best paired with a fleece or an insulated mid-layer for winter conditions.

Can I use standard laundry detergent to wash it?

It is highly recommended to use a technical detergent specifically made for waterproof fabrics, as standard detergents can leave residues that degrade the membrane's breathability.

What does the 20,000mm waterproof rating mean?

This is the hydrostatic head measurement, indicating the fabric can withstand a column of water 20,000mm high before moisture penetrates, ensuring it holds up in heavy, prolonged rain.

Are the seams sealed?

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams to ensure complete waterproof integrity at the stitching points.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket includes an adjustable hood to ensure a secure fit that moves with your head, protecting you from driving rain.

Is the material stretchy?

Yes, the jacket utilizes stretch fabric to ensure it does not restrict movement during active outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR (H2OShield) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Feeling damp inside the jacket despite no rain entry

This is likely caused by condensation trapped inside due to high exertion levels. Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking synthetic or wool base layers rather than cotton.

Zippers feeling stiff or catching

Check for small debris or dirt caught in the zipper teeth. Use a soft brush to clear any trail grit and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability ratings
  • Environmentally conscious plant-based water repellent finish
  • Practical pocket layout including map-sized storage
  • Highly durable polyester material with stretch for comfort
  • Fully taped seams prevent water entry at high-stress points

Cons

  • Not an insulated jacket, requiring layering for warmth
  • Requires proper care to maintain the H2OShield treatment
  • XXL sizing may feel generous depending on personal preference

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, it is essential to follow correct maintenance procedures. The jacket is made from durable polyester and features a technical membrane that should be washed on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the H2OShield repellent finish. To reactivate the water-repellent coating, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting once clean. Ensure that the hem and hood are fully adjusted to your body size before setting out to prevent rain ingress in high-wind conditions.
