Product Information

Full details

The Craghoppers Telesto Hooded Jacket is designed for adults seeking a reliable, warm mid-layer for outdoor activities, particularly those approved by the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Its key benefit is effective warmth retention thanks to its borg fleece fabric, making it ideal for cooler conditions. A minor caveat is its focus on insulation, meaning it may not offer significant wind or water resistance on its own. This jacket features easy-care fabric, a hood, and secure zipped pockets.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?

The Telesto Hooded Jacket is primarily an insulating mid-layer. For very cold, snowy conditions, it should be worn as part of a layering system, combined with a warm base layer and a waterproof/windproof outer shell. It may not provide sufficient protection on its own in extreme cold.

What does 'easy-care' mean for this jacket?

Easy-care means the fabric is designed for simple maintenance. It can typically be machine washed and dried without special procedures, and it resists wrinkling, making it practical for travel and regular use.

Can this jacket be worn as an outer layer?

Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in dry, mild conditions. However, it is not waterproof or windproof, so it is best suited as a mid-layer in adverse weather.

How does the sizing run for the Telesto Hooded Jacket?

The jacket is designed for a regular fit, intended to accommodate a base layer underneath. Refer to the brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements, as fit can vary.

Is the hood adjustable?

The product description does not specify if the hood is adjustable. Typically, hooded fleece jackets may have a simple elasticated edge or a drawstring for adjustment.

What is the material composition?

The jacket is made from borg fleece fabric with a flat-faced fleece back and panels. The exact material composition is often polyester, but specific percentages should be checked on the product label.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and debris can reduce the insulating properties of fleece. Check that it is properly layered under an effective outer shell if required for wind or water resistance.

Fleece shows signs of pilling.

Pilling is normal for fleece over time. To minimize it, wash the jacket inside out and avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. Use a fabric shaver if pilling becomes significant.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper track. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Craghoppers Telesto Hooded Jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear straight from packaging. Its design makes it compatible with a wide range of outdoor clothing, functioning effectively as a mid-layer with waterproof or windproof outer shells. For care, follow these guidelines to maintain the fabric's integrity and warmth:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Use a non-biological detergent.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fleece.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. The fleece material does not typically require pressing.
