Blåkläder 4749 Stretch Hooded Softshell Jacket - Black - S

The jacket is waterproof up to 10000 mm, which is suitable for moderate rain. However, as the seams are not taped, it may not provide complete dryness during prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

This is an unlined softshell jacket, primarily designed for wind and water protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket (like fleece or down) underneath.

The hem can be adjusted using the drawstring at the bottom. The sleeve ends can be tightened with Velcro, and the hood can also be adjusted for a snugger fit.

The main fabric is a 3-layer softshell composed of 92% polyester and 8% elastane, providing stretch, windproof, and waterproof properties.

Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C with similar colors, closing zippers before washing. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

The jacket features dark reflective tape on the shoulders and back. While it enhances visibility in low-light conditions, it is not as bright as standard high-visibility fluorescent materials.

The jacket has a breathability rating of 20.0 Ret, which is equivalent to 4000 g/m²/24H, allowing for good moisture vapor transfer.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to clear any obstructions. If the zipper is still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth.

This can be due to moisture vapor escaping from the body (breathability) or sweat. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated if possible, and consider the layering system. Check that the waterproof rating is sufficient for the conditions encountered.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, refrain from picking at it. For significant damage, the reflective integrity may be compromised.

Ensure the drawstring is properly threaded through the adjustment mechanism. Pull the drawstring ends firmly to secure the hood's position.
