FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Compton Softshell Jacket?

The jacket is designed for cooler, breezy conditions, offering comfort and flexibility for active use or everyday wear. It provides wind resistance and is suitable for transitional weather.

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Compton Softshell Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or mist. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from a blend of 95% Polyester and 5% Elastane.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket is best suited for moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over warmer clothing, such as a fleece or insulated jacket.

What are the pocket features?

The jacket includes a zip chest pocket for quick-access items and two zippered hand pockets for everyday essentials, keeping your belongings secure.

Does the hood provide adjustable coverage?

The hood is attached and designed to sit flat when not in use. While not explicitly adjustable in terms of tightening, its design aims to provide protection without restricting vision. The cuffs and hem can be adjusted for a closer fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. Adjust the cuff tabs and hem for a more comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider a different size.

Reduced wind resistance

Check that all zippers are fully closed, including the chest pocket. Ensure the hood is deployed or secured as needed. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can impede performance.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure the zipper is aligned properly. Gently pull the zipper up or down. If the zipper is stuck with fabric, carefully try to free the fabric. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth can sometimes help with smooth operation.

Jacket does not feel breathable

Breathability can be affected by layering and external conditions. Ensure you are not wearing too many heavy layers underneath in mild weather. Wash the jacket using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners to maintain fabric performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric.
  • Offers good wind resistance for cooler conditions.
  • Versatile design suitable for various activities like commuting and travel.
  • Comfortable to wear with features like a chin guard.
  • Secure storage with multiple zippered pockets.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for very cold temperatures.
  • Water resistance is limited, not fully waterproof.
  • Relies on layering for colder weather, adding bulk.
  • The attached hood might be a less preferred feature for some users.
  • Specific care instructions may be required for the softshell material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

The Reebok Compton Softshell Jacket requires no complex setup; simply wear it. It is designed to be compatible with most casual and athletic wear, including base layers, t-shirts, and fleeces.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance and appearance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the softshell fabric and reduce its breathability and water-repellent properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
  3. Zipper Care: Ensure zippers are fully closed before washing to prevent snagging.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, consider applying a specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray periodically, especially after several washes.
