Product Information
Full details
The JCB Trade Hooded Softshell is engineered for trade professionals and outdoor workers who require a balance of rugged durability and thermal comfort. Featuring a protective softshell exterior paired with a cozy poly fleece lining, this jacket excels in transitional weather and active work environments. While it offers excellent versatility through its detachable hood and mechanical ventilation, users should note that as a softshell garment, it is designed for water resistance rather than complete waterproof protection in heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof jacket for heavy rain.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable via a button-attachment system.
Does it have internal pockets for my phone?
Yes, it features a dedicated inner phone pocket for secure storage.
What is the best way to clean the fleece lining?
Wash the jacket inside out on a cool, gentle cycle to protect the fleece lining from pilling.
Are the reflective pipes certified for high-visibility?
No, the reflective piping provides extra visibility in low light, but it is not a substitute for high-visibility PPE.
How do I adjust the fit at the waist?
You can use the adjustable drawcord located at the hem to cinch the jacket and block out cold air.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less windproof over time
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing. Use a specialized softshell wash-in reproofing treatment.
Hood keeps detaching
Check all button connection points for debris or thread snagging that may be preventing a full lock.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or rub a pencil lead along the teeth to improve movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-resistant properties and the integrity of the fleece lining, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the softshell's water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting to avoid damaging the synthetic fleece fibers.
- Hood Attachment: Ensure all buttons are securely fastened when attaching the hood to prevent accidental detachment during movement.
- Storage: Store in a dry, cool place. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing it for long periods to prevent mildew from forming on the fleece lining.
- Adjustment: Regularly check the hem drawcord and velcro cuffs to ensure they are not overtightened, which could restrict blood flow or movement.
