FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the Connie V Softshell Jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This jacket is designed as a mid-layer or a light outer layer. For colder weather, it is recommended to wear a warm base layer underneath and potentially an additional insulating layer.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What does 'softshell' mean?

Softshell fabrics are typically breathable, water-repellent, and wind-resistant, offering a balance of comfort and protection. They are designed to be flexible and comfortable for active use.

Does the jacket have a hood?

The product description does not specify a hood. Please refer to the product's detailed specifications or images for confirmation.

What are the washing instructions for maintaining water repellency?

Avoid using fabric conditioners or harsh detergents, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish. Wash at a low temperature and tumble dry on low heat, which can help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced.

Re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for softshell or outdoor clothing. Follow the product's instructions for application.

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

Ensure the jacket is not over-dried in the tumble dryer. Use a low heat setting and remove promptly. Fabric conditioner is generally not recommended for technical outerwear.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. If necessary, apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant.
