Full details
The DLX Flanagan Softshell Jacket is an essential outerwear piece for adult men who enjoy hiking, walking, or camping in unpredictable weather.

While it offers impressive technical specifications for rain and wind, users should note that as a softshell, it is designed for active movement rather than extreme sub-zero arctic conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
It features a 15000mm waterproof rating and a TPU membrane, making it highly weather-resistant for most outdoor activities.
Can I use this for skiing?
It provides great breathability and mobility for spring skiing, but it is not insulated for extreme cold temperatures.
How should I wash the jacket?
Use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What is the benefit of a softshell over a hardshell?
Softshells are significantly more flexible and breathable, making them better for high-movement activities like hiking.
Does the hood detach?
No, the jacket features a grown-on hood, which provides a more secure seal against wind and rain.
Are the pockets large enough for a map?
The two lower pockets are spacious and designed to secure common hiking accessories safely.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a technical re-proofing spray after washing.
Feeling damp inside the jacket during high activity
Ensure you are layering appropriately; synthetic or merino base layers will wick moisture better than cotton.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Gently clean the zip track of any grit or debris and use a silicone-based zip lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, fit it correctly by testing the hem drawcord and hood adjustments while wearing your mid-layers. The jacket is designed to be worn over light base layers or thin fleeces. For care, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a technical gear cleanser. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the TPU membrane and the water-repellent treatment on the zips. Always hang-dry the jacket away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the synthetic fibers.
