FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this softshell jacket?
The primary benefit is its combination of windproof protection and high breathability, keeping you comfortable in breezy conditions without trapping moisture.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is unlined and best suited for moderate temperatures or as a protective outer layer. For very cold weather, it should be layered over warm base and mid-layers.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood is fixed and has a drawcord that you can pull to tighten it around your head for a snugger fit.
What type of pockets does the jacket have?
It features a chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and one internal pocket for secure storage.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% polyester, double-layered, ripstop softshell fabric with a fleece backing.
Can I wash this jacket in a machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it cold (30°C) with like colors. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing.
What does 'double-layered' fabric mean in this context?
It means the softshell material consists of two distinct layers bonded together, typically an outer shell for protection and an inner layer (like fleece here) for comfort and insulation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not windproof.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood and hem drawcords are tightened. Check for any tears or damage in the fabric.
Jacket feels clammy or too warm.
This indicates high breathability is working but may be insufficient for your activity level or external temperature. Remove an inner layer if worn, or consider wearing the jacket in cooler, breezier conditions.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Check for fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or wax if it remains stiff.
Sleeve or hem adjustments are loose.
Ensure the Velcro straps on the sleeves and the drawcords on the hem are properly secured. If drawcords are frayed, they may need repair.
