Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Genesis Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a reliable barrier against unpredictable weather. Designed for adults, this jacket excels at shielding you from wind and light rain while maintaining a lightweight, comfortable feel. While its DWR-treated fabric is perfect for drizzly conditions, it is important to note that it is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, making it better suited for light exposure than heavy downpours.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-resistant. It is designed to shed light rain but will eventually soak through in heavy or continuous downpours.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a mild, technical detergent and avoiding fabric softeners.
What does PFC-Free mean?
It means the jacket's water-repellent treatment does not contain harmful perfluorinated chemicals, which is better for the environment.
Does it have a hood?
The standard Genesis Softshell design focuses on the main body protection; please check your specific product labels if a hood is included in your version.
How long is the warranty?
This product comes with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use.
Is this suitable for winter weather?
It is excellent as an outer layer for windy or chilly days, but in deep winter or freezing temperatures, you should wear it over a warm fleece or insulated mid-layer.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray.
The jacket feels damp inside after a long hike.
The moisture may be sweat trapped inside due to high intensity activity. Ensure you are wearing a breathable, moisture-wicking base layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its water-repellent properties, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical cleaner. Avoid using standard fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce breathability. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry; low-heat tumble drying can often help refresh the DWR coating. If you notice water no longer beading on the surface after extended use, apply a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment. Always store the jacket in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
