FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Brydon Softshell Jacket is water-repellent and designed for light rain and wind. It is not waterproof and will not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The jacket's bonded fleece interior offers warmth for transitional weather. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as a layer over additional warm clothing.
What does 'transitional outerwear' mean?
Transitional outerwear refers to clothing suitable for the shifting seasons, like spring and autumn, offering protection against moderate weather conditions such as wind and light rain, rather than extreme cold or heavy storms.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This guide focuses on the Green XL variant. Other sizes (S, M, L) and potentially other colors may be available from the retailer.
Does the hood offer adjustable tightness?
The description mentions a 'peaked hood' which suggests a structured brim for protection. However, it does not specify if it includes drawstrings or adjusters for tightness.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents. Consider a specialized re-waterproofing treatment if performance has significantly declined over time.
Fleece interior feels less soft.
This can sometimes happen with repeated washing. Ensure you are using cold water and avoiding high heat drying. Gentle washing is key to preserving the fleece texture.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth can help improve its movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of packaging.
Compatibility: Designed as outerwear for adult males, suitable for pairing with a variety of casual and smart-casual outfits. Its material composition (92% Polyester, 8% Elastane) offers some stretch for comfortable layering over shirts or light sweaters.
Care Instructions: To maintain the water-repellent properties and the integrity of the fleece lining, machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
