FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
This jacket is designed for waterproof protection. For extreme cold, consider layering it over warm insulating garments.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Craghoppers sizing chart available on their website for detailed measurements. The jacket offers an adjustable waist for a more customized fit.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is grown-on and cannot be removed.
What is the difference between AquaDry and H2OShield?
AquaDry refers to the waterproof and breathable membrane technology, while H2OShield is a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish applied to the outer fabric to help water bead off.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. It's generally recommended to reapply when water no longer beads up effectively on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.
Are the pockets insulated?
The jacket features zipped side handwarmer pockets, which offer some insulation, but the main lower pockets are designed for storage and are not insulated.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a suitable water-repellent spray according to the product instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Ensure all seams are fully taped. If damage is visible, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Jacket feels less breathable.
The fabric may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, using a minimal amount of mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly.
