FAQs
What is the primary function of this softshell jacket?
The primary function is to provide wind protection and breathability, making it suitable for active wear in cool or breezy conditions.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is fixed and adjustable with a drawstring.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester, double-layered, ripstop softshell fabric with a fleece backing.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
It features a chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and an inside pocket.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
While the softshell material offers some water resistance, it is not designed for heavy rain. It is best suited for wind and light precipitation.
How should I care for the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning.
What does 'extended back' mean?
The 'extended back' refers to a longer hemline at the rear of the jacket, providing extra coverage and protection against drafts when bending or moving.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or loses some water resistance after washing.
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede breathability and water repellency. Consider using a technical wash detergent specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the teeth and try moving it again. Ensure zippers are closed before washing to prevent damage.
Hood is not fitting securely.
Adjust the drawstring on the hood to achieve a snugger fit. Ensure the hood is properly zipped up if it has a full zipper closure (this model has a fixed hood, adjust the drawcord).
