Product Information
Full details
The Lighthouse Clothing Beachcomber Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult females seeking a lightweight, stylish, and protective outer layer for transitional weather. Its key benefit is providing waterproof, windproof, and breathable comfort with a soft feel, perfect for unpredictable spring and summer days. A potential caveat is that while lightweight, it may not offer substantial warmth for very cold conditions. Key features include a concealed adjustable hood, secure zipped pockets, and a durable yet soft polyester construction with a jersey lining.

FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 3000mm, meaning it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure before leaking.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Beachcomber is designed as a lightweight jacket. While the jersey lining offers some warmth, it is best suited for transitional seasons (spring/autumn) or cooler summer days. For winter, layering would be necessary.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood is concealed and adjustable via drawcords located, typically, inside the jacket collar or around the hood opening. Pull the cords to tighten and loosen as needed for a secure fit.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?
The jacket is breathable (3000gsm), making it suitable for moderate activities like walking or cycling. For very high-intensity aerobic activities, you might find it retains some moisture.
What material is the jacket made from?
The outer fabric is a polyester with a peach finish for a soft feel. The lining is made of soft jersey.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in compressed states (like tightly stuffed in a bag) to maintain fabric integrity and performance.
Does it have a specific fit (e.g., slim, regular)?
The jacket has a classic fit designed for comfortable layering, with adjustable drawcords to allow for a more personalized fit around the hem.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and detergent residue. Consider using a technical re-proofer designed for waterproof outerwear, following the product instructions carefully.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels damp inside after activity.
This might be due to exceeding the breathability limit or insufficient ventilation. Ensure the hood and cuffs are adjusted appropriately, and consider wearing moisture-wicking layers underneath.
Visible wear on the fabric.
While the fabric is durable, avoid excessive abrasion. For minor snags, they typically do not compromise the waterproof integrity unless the membrane is breached. Consider professional repair for significant damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zips are closed before washing. Adjust drawcords for a comfortable fit as needed.
Compatibility: Designed for adult females. Its lightweight nature makes it suitable for layering over lighter tops or base layers. It pairs well with casual wear, trousers, or jeans.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine washable. Wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can affect the waterproof and breathable properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency over time, consider using a specialist re-proofer after several washes, following product instructions.
