Product Information

Full details

This SOL'S Shift Showerproof Windbreaker Jacket in Blue, size L, is designed for adults seeking protection from changeable weather. Its key benefit is its showerproof and windproof construction, offering reliable defense against light rain and wind. A potential caveat is that it is showerproof, not fully waterproof, meaning prolonged heavy rain may penetrate the fabric. This unisex jacket is made from 210T Polyester and features a full-length zip, concealed adjustable hood, two zip pockets, elasticated cuffs, and a drawcord hem for a customizable fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket is described as 'showerproof', meaning it is designed to repel light rain and drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection during prolonged or heavy rainfall.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided in the product description. Chest sizes are given in inches: S(36/38), M(38/40), L(41/42), XL(43/44), XXL(45/47). Measure your chest circumference to find the best fit.

Can the hood be fully removed?

The hood is described as 'concealed', suggesting it can be tucked away or folded into the collar. It is typically not designed to be fully removable.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 210T Polyester fabric.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C (cool temperature). Avoid bleaching, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting if needed. Do not dry clean.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are described as 'zip pockets', implying they have zippers for closure. While they offer some protection, they are not guaranteed to be fully waterproof, so it's advisable to keep sensitive items dry during heavy rain.

Is this jacket warm?

This is a windbreaker jacket designed primarily for protection against wind and light rain. It is lightweight and does not typically offer significant insulation. You may need to layer it with warmer clothing in colder conditions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Drawcord is stuck or not adjusting

Check the drawcord channel for any obstructions. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacement.

Elasticated cuffs feel loose

The elastic may have stretched over time. This is a common wear-and-tear issue. For minor looseness, try adjusting the drawcord hem for a tighter fit around the waist.

Reduced showerproof performance

Over time, the water-repellent finish can degrade. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outerwear fabrics to restore its performance. Ensure the garment is clean before re-applying any treatment.
