FAQs
What is the main material of the jacket?
The main material is 100% polyester, knitted and brushed on one side, weighing 380 g/m².
Are the reinforcements waterproof?
The soft shell reinforcements offer improved tear resistance and some wind resistance but are not waterproof. The jacket as a whole is not designed for heavy rain.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather. For very cold conditions, it can be used as a mid-layer beneath a heavier insulated jacket.
What types of activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for construction, warehousing, outdoor maintenance, DIY projects, and general outdoor work or leisure activities where durability and comfort are needed.
Does this jacket come in other colors or for women?
This specific model (49302117) is in blue. A similar jacket is available for women in gray/black (model 4931).
How many pockets does the jacket have?
It features one chest pocket with a zipper and two front pockets, also with zippers, for secure storage.
What is the benefit of the extended back?
The extended back provides additional coverage and warmth, especially when bending or reaching, preventing drafts.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to open or close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the slider back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax can sometimes help lubricate the teeth.
Jacket feels too tight or too loose
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Blaklader. If the fit is not as expected, consider exchanging for a different size. The elastic cuffs and extended back are designed for a specific fit.
Material feels stiff after washing
This is likely due to the reinforced soft shell areas. Ensure the jacket is dried on a low setting or air-dried. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners which can degrade the material.
