Product Information

Full details

This Blaklader Sleeveless Softshell + Stretch Jacket is designed for adult workers seeking a comfortable and flexible layering option for cool, indoor environments. Its key benefit is the combination of windproof, breathable material with stretch panels for unrestricted movement. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for indoor or mild outdoor conditions, rather than extreme weather. Key features include a soft fleece lining, multiple zippered pockets for secure storage, and an extended back for added warmth.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

This softshell jacket is designed to be water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or snow. It is not intended as a fully waterproof outer layer for heavy downpours.

What is the primary benefit of the stretch fabric on the back?

The stretch fabric on the back enhances your freedom of movement, allowing for greater flexibility and comfort during activities that require bending, reaching, or stretching. It also improves ventilation.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is best suited for cool, indoor environments or as a layering piece in milder outdoor conditions. For very cold weather, it would need to be combined with additional insulating layers.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Blaklader sizing chart. The jacket should allow for comfortable movement without being too tight or too loose. The elongated back should provide coverage without restricting sitting.

What kind of detergent should I use for washing?

Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powders and especially fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's performance characteristics like breathability and water repellency.

Are there other color options available for this model?

Yes, this sleeveless softshell jacket model is available in other colors such as Green and Black, depending on size and availability.

Does the fleece collar offer significant warmth?

The fleece-lined collar provides added comfort and warmth around the neck area, helping to block drafts and increase overall comfort in cooler conditions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy

The jacket's membrane may be blocked by dirt or residue. Wash the garment following the care instructions, ensuring no fabric softener is used. Consider using a specialized technical wash for outdoor gear.

Seams feel less water-repellent

While the jacket is water-repellent, prolonged exposure to heavy rain can saturate the outer fabric. Reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish suitable for softshell fabrics might be necessary after several washes, following product instructions.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric.
  • Comfortable fleece-lined collar for warmth.
  • Durable and windproof material suitable for indoor work.
  • Multiple secure storage options with zippered pockets.
  • Lightweight and breathable design.

Cons

  • Primarily suited for cool, indoor environments; not heavy-duty weatherproof.
  • The softshell material may not offer sufficient insulation for very cold outdoor conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as a mid-layer or outer layer for cool working conditions. It pairs well with other work trousers and tops from the Blaklader range.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of the softshell jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the membrane and reduce breathability and water-repellency.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron.
  4. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
