Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Genesis Softshell Jacket is an essential outer layer for outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable barrier against wind and light moisture. It is best suited for hikers, walkers, and commuters who need a durable, windproof garment that remains breathable, though it should be noted that while it handles light rain well, it is not designed to replace a fully waterproof raincoat during heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, which makes it ideal for light rain, but it is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Does this jacket have a hood?
No, this specific model of the Genesis Softshell does not include a hood.
What is the warranty coverage?
The jacket comes with a 2-year warranty to cover manufacturing defects.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is great for active winter use as a layering piece, though you may need an additional insulated mid-layer for very cold temperatures.
How should I clean the jacket?
Follow the garment's internal care label. Generally, wash on a cool cycle without fabric softener to preserve the membrane properties.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Check for fabric caught in the zipper track. If clean, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to smooth the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, ensure you follow the care label instructions, typically suggesting a cool wash. Over time, the DWR finish may lose effectiveness; you can restore its water-repellent properties by using a standard wash-in or spray-on DWR revitalizer. When layering, the jacket is slim enough to wear under a thicker coat during winter or over a base layer during spring and autumn. Always ensure all zippers are closed before laundering to protect the teeth and surrounding fabric.
