FAQs

What does H2OShield mean?

H2OShield is a fabric technology that provides a durable water-repellent finish and wind resistance, helping to protect you from the elements.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and showers, but it is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.

How do I know my size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided: S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 43 in, XL: 46 in, XXL: 49 in, 3XL: 52 in. Measurements refer to chest circumference.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is best suited for changeable conditions and moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating clothing.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting. Do not dry clean.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a relaxed fit, designed for comfort and ease of movement.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Please refer to the retailer or Craghoppers website for specific warranty information, as it typically varies.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

This can happen over time with wear and washing. Reapply a DWR treatment (available from outdoor gear specialists) after washing and drying the jacket according to care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and water. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels less insulating than expected.

Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath. The jacket is designed for moderate conditions and works best with a base layer for added warmth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers good protection against wind and light rain due to water-repellent and wind-resistant properties.
  • Made with a high percentage of recycled materials, aligning with sustainability goals.
  • The high neck and insulating fabric provide comfort in cooler, breezy conditions.
  • Relaxed fit ensures comfort and ease of movement.
  • Two zipped pockets offer secure storage for small items.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof, only water-repellent, so may not be suitable for heavy downpours.
  • The relaxed fit might be too loose for individuals preferring a snug or athletic cut.
  • Elastane content is low (3%), limiting extreme stretch capabilities.
  • Primarily designed for moderate, changeable weather; may not be sufficient for extreme cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is compatible with various layers underneath, such as t-shirts or base layers, for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  • Iron on a low heat setting.
  • Do not dry clean.

Regular washing according to these instructions will help maintain the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish and the fabric's performance.
