Product Information

Full details

The Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight yet protective outer layer for demanding work environments. Its primary benefit is providing high wind resistance and breathability, keeping you comfortable without overheating. A potential caveat is its unlined nature, which may require layering in very cold conditions. Key features include pre-bent elbows, an extended back panel, a fleece-lined collar, adjustable cuffs and hem, and multiple zippered pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The jacket is made from a 100% polyester, 2-layer softshell fabric that is bonded and water repellent.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth due to its fleece-lined collar, but it is unlined. For very cold conditions, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features multiple practical pockets: one chest pocket with a zipper, front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets.

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

Yes, both the sleeve ends with velcro and the bottom hem with a drawstring are adjustable to ensure a personalized and secure fit.

What are the washing instructions?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Do not bleach or dry clean.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is water repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or moisture, but it is not fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What does 'pre-bent elbows' mean for the fit?

Pre-bent elbows are designed into the sleeves to mimic the natural shape of your arm when bent, allowing for greater freedom of movement and comfort during work.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper. If needed, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth for lubrication.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Check if the sleeve ends and hem are adjusted too tightly. Loosen the velcro on the cuffs and the drawstring on the hem. Consider if a larger size is needed.

Water is seeping through the fabric.

The jacket is water repellent, not waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended. Ensure the main fabric and seams are intact; significant seepage may indicate damage.
