Product Information
Full details
The Blaklader Softshell Jacket is designed for men seeking a lightweight yet protective outer layer for demanding work environments. Its primary benefit is high wind resistance combined with breathability, ensuring comfort during physical activity. A potential caveat is its unlined nature, which may require layering in very cold conditions. Key features include pre-bent elbows for freedom of movement, an extended back panel for coverage, a fleece-lined collar for warmth, adjustable cuffs and hem, and multiple zippered pockets for secure storage.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and showers, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
What material is the jacket made of?
The main material is 100% polyester 2-layer softshell, which is bonded and features a water-repellent finish. The collar is fleece-lined for added comfort.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash warm (40°C) with similar colors. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron on low heat if needed. Do not dry clean.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down.
What sizes and colors are available?
This jacket is available in various sizes including M, XXXL, S, XXXXL, and XXL. Common colors include Black, Green, Blue, and Grey, though availability may vary.
Does the jacket have many pockets?
Yes, it features practical storage options including a chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and internal pockets.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The sleeve ends can be adjusted using Velcro straps, and the hem can be tightened using a drawstring for a customized fit.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Adjust the hem drawstring and sleeve Velcro for a better fit. Consider layering with thinner base layers if more room is needed.
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent treatment may wear off over time. Re-apply a suitable fabric waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. Follow care instructions for optimal longevity.
