Product Information
Full details
The Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight yet protective outer layer. Its key benefit is high wind resistance combined with breathability for optimal comfort during active work. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for moderate to cool conditions, rather than extreme cold. This jacket features a stretch-woven softshell material, pre-bent elbows, an extended back panel, and a fleece-lined collar for enhanced comfort and protection. It includes practical zippered pockets on the chest and front, as well as inner pockets for secure storage.

FAQs
What is the main material of the Blaklader 4950 jacket?
The main material is a 100% polyester, 2-layer softshell fabric, which is bonded and water repellent, weighing 255 g/m².
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket offers wind resistance and some warmth due to its softshell construction and fleece-lined collar, but it is primarily designed for moderate to cool conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulation is recommended.
How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?
To maintain water repellency, avoid fabric softeners and bleach during washing. You can reapply a DWR treatment after washing and drying the jacket according to product instructions.
What types of pockets are included?
The jacket features a chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets for storing personal items securely.
Can the fit be adjusted?
Yes, the jacket has adjustable sleeve ends with velcro and an adjustable hem with a drawstring, allowing you to fine-tune the fit.
What are the washing instructions?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Always close zippers before washing and wash with similar colors.
Is this jacket unisex?
While this specific product listing is for a men's fit (XXL size, Black color), Blaklader offers the 4950 model in various colors and sizes, including some unisex options. Please check specific product listings for availability.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clear of fabric and debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth.
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Check care label for specific washing instructions. Avoid harsh detergents. Ensure tumble dry is on a low setting. Consider a fabric softener specifically designed for technical outerwear if recommended by care label.
Water repellency is reduced
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Follow the instructions on the DWR product packaging, which often involves washing the jacket and then applying the treatment, followed by heat (like a tumble dry on low).
Fit feels too snug or too loose
Adjust the drawstring at the hem and the velcro straps on the sleeves for a more customized fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size based on the provided size chart.
