Mountain Warehouse Turbine Softshell Jacket - Green - Size: 8

The Turbine jacket is designed for moderate temperatures and offers good warmth with its microfibre insulation and fleece lining. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it with a warm mid-layer or a heavier insulated jacket.

The jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. Water will bead and roll off. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain will eventually lead to saturation.

Yes, the softshell fabric is breathable and the stretch panels provide excellent freedom of movement, making it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities where breathability is key. For very strenuous activities in wet conditions, a dedicated active shell might be more appropriate.

The main material is polyester, with softshell stretch panels on the sides. It is insulated with microfibre and features a fleece lining for added warmth.

After washing, you can restore the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat or by using a spray-on DWR treatment, following the product instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the DWR treatment.

Water-resistant means the fabric can repel water to a certain degree, typically for light rain or splashes, for a limited time. Waterproof means the fabric is impermeable to water under significant pressure, offering protection in heavy rain and adverse conditions.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The stretch panels offer some flexibility, but a proper fit is crucial for comfort during movement.

The jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider wearing a fully waterproof outer layer. The DWR treatment may also need reapplication if water absorption increases.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
