Product Information
Full details
The Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is designed for adults seeking a durable, wind-resistant, and breathable outer layer for active work or outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing protection from the elements without sacrificing comfort, thanks to its stretch-woven fabric and thoughtful design features. A potential caveat is that while wind-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, limiting its effectiveness in heavy rain. This unlined jacket features pre-bent elbows, an extended back, fleece-lined collar, adjustable cuffs and hem, and multiple zippered pockets for practicality.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is water-repellent and highly wind-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof. It is suitable for light rain or snow, but for heavy downpours, a waterproof outer shell is recommended.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The main material is 100% polyester, a 2-layer softshell fabric that is bonded, water-repellent, and has a weight of 255 g/m².
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is unlined and primarily designed for wind protection and breathability. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The jacket features adjustable sleeve ends with velcro and an adjustable hem with a drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit.
What types of pockets are included?
The jacket includes a chest pocket with a zipper, front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets for secure storage.
What does 'pre-bent elbows' mean for the fit?
Pre-bent elbows are shaped to follow the natural curve of your arm when bent. This design enhances comfort and freedom of movement, reducing restriction during tasks.
What sizes and colors are available?
This specific listing is for a Green XXXXL jacket. Other sizes and colors such as Black and Grey are available in the Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket range.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it persists, use a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a silicone-based lubricant to ease movement. Avoid using wax-based products that can attract dirt.
Jacket feels less wind-resistant after washing.
The water-repellent finish may have diminished. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for softshell or outdoor clothing after washing and drying according to care instructions.
Seams appear to be separating.
Inspect the seams for any loose threads. If it is a minor issue, a stitch repair might suffice. For more significant separation, professional repair may be needed to maintain the jacket's integrity.
