Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Complite IX Hooded Jacket is designed for adult females seeking reliable protection from the elements during cooler weather. Its key benefit lies in its H2OShield water-repellent finish and mid-level insulation, offering warmth and dryness. A minor caveat is that it is best suited for moderate cold, not extreme conditions. This jacket features a plain, puffer style with a hood, a plant-based and PFAS-compliant water-repellent finish, enhanced mid-level insulation (warmth rating 2), a stow bag for portability, and a zipped security pocket.

FAQs

What is the warmth rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a warmth rating of 2, indicating enhanced mid-level insulation suitable for cooler temperatures.

How do I clean the jacket?

The jacket is machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.

Is the water-repellent finish permanent?

The H2OShield finish is durable but may diminish over time with washing and wear. Reapplication of a suitable water-repellent treatment can restore its performance.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The jacket features a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

What are the main benefits of the H2OShield finish?

The H2OShield finish repels rain and water-based stains. It is also made from at least 50% plant-based materials and is PFAS compliant, making it more sustainable and safer.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, it features a zipped security pocket for safely storing essentials.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash using a mild detergent and consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics.

Jacket feels less warm than expected

Check that the jacket is layered appropriately over a base layer. Ensure there are no gaps where heat could escape. The warmth rating is designed for moderate cool, not extreme cold.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to lubricate the teeth.

Jacket doesn't pack easily into stow bag

Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before attempting to pack it. Loosely stuff the jacket into the bag rather than trying to fold it perfectly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent water and stain repellency due to H2OShield finish.
  • Good warmth for moderate cold weather with its mid-level insulation.
  • Highly portable and convenient for travel as it packs into its own stow bag.
  • Sustainable materials used in its construction (recycled polyester, plant-based water-repellent finish).
  • Practical features like a zipped security pocket and a hood.
  • Easy to maintain with machine washability.

Cons

  • Warmth rating of 2 is suitable for cooler temperatures, but may not be sufficient for extreme cold.
  • Puffer style might be too casual for some formal settings.
  • While water-repellent, it may not be fully waterproof for prolonged heavy downpours.
  • Limited color options available in this specific model (Red is prominent in this variant).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for adult females. While it is not a technical piece of extreme weather gear, it is compatible with casual wear for a range of outdoor activities in cool to mild conditions. It layers well over base layers or lighter tops.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impact the water-repellent properties.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
  • Re-Waterproofing: To maintain the water-repellent finish, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer specifically designed for outdoor clothing after several washes.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
