Mountain Warehouse Radius Soft Shell Jacket - Blue - Size: 44

This soft shell jacket is designed primarily for protection against wind and light rain, offering warmth and comfort during outdoor activities in moderate conditions. It is not intended as a heavy-duty waterproof jacket for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

You will notice that water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in. If water absorption occurs during light rain, it's time to consider re-treating the jacket.

The bonded fleece lining provides good warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers, such as a fleece or insulated vest, to maximize warmth.

Bonded fleece means a fleece fabric is attached to another layer, in this case, the outer soft shell fabric. This construction creates a thicker, warmer material with improved wind resistance and insulation.

Using recycled polyester reduces the demand for virgin resources, lowers energy consumption in production, and helps divert waste from landfills, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

Water-resistant means the fabric can repel water to a certain extent, typically for light rain or snow, thanks to treatments like DWR. Waterproof means the fabric is impermeable to water under pressure, usually achieved with membranes and taped seams, providing protection in heavy rain.

Refer to the sizing information provided in the product description. Measure your chest and waist and compare these measurements to the chart (e.g., Size 44 corresponds to a 43-inch waist measurement).

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure you are not expecting full waterproof performance in heavy rain.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can also apply a small amount of wax (like a pencil eraser or candle wax) to the teeth for smoother operation.

The bonded fleece lining may have compressed over time or lost some loft. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can affect insulation. For significant loss of warmth, consider if the jacket's primary function (wind and water resistance) is still met; for core warmth, a mid-layer may be needed.

Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts or consult a local tailor for repair. Small repairs can sometimes be made with strong thread and a needle.
