Product Information

Full details

The Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, wind-resistant outer layer that doesn't compromise on breathability. Its primary benefit is providing protection from the elements while maintaining comfort during active work or outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that it is unlined, making it best suited for milder conditions or as a layering piece. Key features include its stretch-woven fabric, fleece-lined collar, multiple zippered pockets, and adjustable elements for a customized fit.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the softshell material?

The softshell material provides a good balance of wind resistance, water repellency, and breathability, making it comfortable for active use in variable conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is unlined and primarily designed for wind protection and moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer insulating garments.

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

You can adjust the fit using the Velcro closures on the cuffs and the drawstring at the hem. The pre-bent elbows also contribute to a comfortable, non-restrictive fit.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features multiple practical pockets, including a chest pocket with a zipper, front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets for secure storage.

What type of closure does the front zipper have?

The front zipper is a one-way plastic zipper fitted with a small fleece-lined flap to protect the chin.

Can this jacket be machine washed?

Yes, it can be machine washed at a maximum of 40°C (104°F). Ensure zippers are closed before washing.

What does 'water repellent' mean for this jacket?

Water repellent means the fabric resists water penetration from light rain or splashes, causing water to bead up and roll off. It is not waterproof and will not protect against prolonged or heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper is clear of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Check that the fabric is not caught in the zipper slider.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive

Verify you have selected the correct size. Utilize the adjustable hem drawstring and Velcro cuffs to achieve a more comfortable fit. Consider layering with thinner base layers.

Water repellency seems reduced

The water-repellent finish may need reapplication after extensive use or washing. Follow garment care instructions and consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for technical fabrics after washing and drying.
