Product Information
Full details
The Beeswift Soft Shell Jacket is designed for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who require a versatile layer that balances protection with mobility. Its core advantage lies in the combination of a high-stretch, water-resistant, and windproof outer shell with a cozy fleece lining, making it ideal for variable weather conditions. While it excels in performance, users should note that as a soft shell, it is intended for light to moderate precipitation rather than heavy, sustained rainfall.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant and windproof, designed to handle light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Does this come in other sizes?
Yes, it is available in a range of sizes from XS up to XXXXXL, depending on the specific variant.
Can I wash this in a machine?
Yes, use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild soap and avoid fabric softeners.
What is the benefit of the Cordura trim?
Cordura is a highly durable, tear-resistant fabric that protects high-wear areas like the cuffs and hem from daily abrasion.
Is the jacket suitable for both men and women?
The jacket is available in both male-specific and unisex cuts, ensuring a proper fit for various body types.
Will the fabric stretch during work?
Yes, the jacket features high-stretch material designed to move with your body, making it excellent for active work environments.
Troubleshooting
Water-resistance is failing after washing
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing; apply a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer suitable for soft shells.
Zipper is sticking or stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper path and remove any debris; you may lightly lubricate the track with a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
Drawcord is loose
Ensure the toggle is fully depressed when adjusting; if the elastic cord has lost tension, check that it has not become twisted inside the hem.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Beeswift Soft Shell, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the hip drawcord and wrist cuffs upon first use to ensure the jacket seals correctly against your body.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-resistant coating of the soft shell fabric.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket in a shaded area. High heat from a tumble dryer may damage the fabric's performance membranes and the Cordura trim.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape, especially when stored for long periods between seasons.
