The jacket features a 30,000mm hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand very high levels of water pressure, ensuring excellent protection in heavy rain.
The Ponsa is a lightweight shell jacket, designed for weather protection and breathability, not insulation. For cold weather, it should be worn over appropriate insulating layers (e.g., fleece or down jacket).
AquaDry Membrane is Craghoppers' proprietary technology that guarantees the fabric is both waterproof and breathable. It prevents water from entering while allowing moisture vapor from your body to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Always check the care label first. Generally, machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a specialist technical cleaner for waterproof garments. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and conventional detergents. Tumble dry low or air dry.
Yes, the outer fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester, and it features an `H2OShield` plant-based, fluorocarbon-free water repellent finish, contributing to reduced environmental impact.
Absolutely. Its lightweight nature, `stretch` fabric construction, and `articulated sleeves` are specifically designed to provide an excellent range of motion and agility, making it suitable for climbing, scrambling, and other strenuous outdoor activities.
The reflective logos are strategically placed to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk, dawn, or foggy weather, improving safety during your outdoor activities.
This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is worn. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and then tumble dry on low to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, re-apply an external DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.
Ensure you're not overdressed underneath the jacket, as excess perspiration can overwhelm the jacket's breathability. Open pit zips (if present) or the main zip slightly to increase ventilation. Make sure the jacket is clean, as dirt can clog the membrane and reduce breathability.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant specifically designed for outdoor gear to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Ensure you've selected the correct size. The stretch fabric is designed for movement, but if layering heavily, you might need to size up. Check that all adjustable features (hem, cuffs) are not cinched too tightly.
Setup: The jacket requires no special setup. Choose the correct size for a comfortable fit, allowing for layering underneath if desired. The model shown is 6'0" wearing a size M, which can help gauge fit. Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer shell and is highly compatible with various layering systems. For colder conditions, combine it with a fleece or insulated mid-layer. For warmer, wet weather, a single base layer might suffice. Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Ponsa jacket: 1. Always refer to the care label inside the garment. 2. Typically, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can degrade the DWR finish and membrane. 3. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Tumble drying on low often helps reactivate the DWR finish. 4. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider re-applying a fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment available from outdoor retailers.
