FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Carisbrooke Softshell Jacket features a durable water-repellent finish and is designed for protection against light showers and mixed weather. It is not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall and may require additional waterproofing for such conditions.

How do I adjust the sleeves?

The sleeves have a snap fastener that allows for easy adjustment to achieve a comfortable and secure fit.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the hood is detachable. It can be removed for a different look or if not needed in clear weather. It also features drawcord adjusters.

What is the material and weight?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester Softshell XPT fabric, weighing 200gsm.

What does the breathability rating mean?

A breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours indicates that the fabric allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to pass through, helping to keep you comfortable by preventing overheating during activity.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors using a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

What is the 'longline fit'?

The longline fit means the jacket extends further down the body than a standard jacket, providing more coverage and a contemporary silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading off the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics according to the product instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free of detergent residue. Avoid fabric softeners during washing. Check that the DWR treatment is still effective, as a worn finish can sometimes affect perceived breathability.

Hood is not fitting snugly.

Adjust the drawcords on the detachable hood to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the hood is properly attached if it has been removed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Water-repellent for protection in light rain and wind.
  • Breathable to help manage comfort during activity.
  • Versatile with a detachable hood and adjustable sleeves.
  • Comfortable longline fit suitable for everyday wear.
  • Lightweight and durable polyester construction.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for heavy, prolonged rainfall.
  • Primarily designed for everyday use and light outdoor activities, not extreme conditions.
  • The longline fit might require consideration for specific activities where a shorter jacket is preferred.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. It is compatible with a wide range of casual wear. To maintain its performance:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) with similar colors. Use a small amount of liquid detergent.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR finish and breathability.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Alternatively, air dry away from direct heat sources.
  • Re-proofing: For best results, reapply a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads effectively on the surface. Follow the product's instructions for the re-proofer.
