Product Information
Full details
The Craghoppers Ponsa Waterproof Shell Jacket is designed for active adults who need a reliable, high-performance outer layer for hiking and unpredictable weather. Featuring AquaDry Membrane technology, this jacket offers an excellent balance of waterproof protection and breathability, allowing you to move freely on the trail. While it excels in moisture management and comfort, users should note that as a shell jacket, it is designed for layering rather than providing significant thermal insulation on its own.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the AquaDry Membrane provides a robust barrier against wind, making it effective for exposed ridge walks.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, the jacket features a protective hood integrated into the streamlined design for full coverage.
Can I wear this in winter?
It can be worn in winter, but because it is a shell, you must layer it over insulating garments like a down or fleece jacket.
Is the material noisy when walking?
The stretch polyester construction is significantly quieter and softer than traditional, rigid hardshell jackets.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high-heat drying.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is likely condensation due to improper layering. Ensure you are using synthetic or wool base layers that wick moisture away from your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for immediate use. For optimal performance, ensure you pair it with moisture-wicking base layers to maximize the breathability of the shell. To maintain the waterproof efficacy, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the membrane pores.
- Drying: Hang dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting if recommended by the care label.
- Re-proofing: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, consider applying a technical wash-in waterproofing treatment to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
