Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Ponsa Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a lightweight, agile layer for unpredictable weather. Featuring the brand's proprietary AquaDry Membrane, it provides an excellent balance of waterproof protection and breathability for high-exertion activities. While it excels in performance and comfort, users should note that as a dedicated shell jacket, it relies on layering for warmth in extremely cold temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the AquaDry Membrane provides a high level of wind resistance, protecting you against chilling gusts.
Can I wash this jacket in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but use a mild technical soap and a gentle cycle. Never use bleach or fabric softener.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed to provide a secure fit, though specific adjustment features may vary based on the model year.
What should I wear underneath for winter hiking?
For winter use, pair this shell with a moisture-wicking base layer and a thermal mid-layer like a fleece or lightweight down jacket.
Does the jacket pack down small?
Yes, the material is lightweight and flexible, allowing it to be compressed effectively into a backpack.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the jacket.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof.
This is often due to high internal humidity buildup. Ensure you are layering appropriately and opening vents if available to improve airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, avoid storing it compressed for long periods. Compatibility is high with most mid-layers, but consider sizing up if you plan to wear a bulky down sweater underneath. To clean the jacket, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce breathability. Periodically re-treating the outer shell with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray will help maintain the jacket's ability to 'bead' water off the surface.
