Product Information

Full details

This women's softshell jacket is designed for adult females engaging in outdoor activities like sun-soaked trails and mountain walks. Its key benefit is providing lightweight protection and freedom of movement with advanced stretch fabric. A potential caveat is that while offering UV 50+ shielding, it's primarily a softshell and may not provide full waterproofing for heavy rain. It features ILUS Lite stretch fabric for breathability and comfort, UV 50+ protection, zipped pockets, and a durable ripstop finish.

FAQs

What is ILUS Lite fabric?

ILUS Lite is an advanced, lightweight stretch fabric developed for outdoor wear. It focuses on providing breathability and comfort while allowing for a full range of motion.

Is this jacket waterproof?

This is a softshell jacket primarily designed for protection against wind and light elements. While it offers some resistance, it is not fully waterproof and may not perform well in heavy rain.

What kind of protection does the UV 50+ offer?

UV 50+ shielding means the fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, offering significant sun protection for your skin.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket is lightweight and best suited for mild to moderate temperatures. For colder weather, it functions well as a mid-layer, providing an additional barrier over a base layer and under a warmer outer shell.

How should I clean the jacket?

It is recommended to machine wash the jacket at 30°C with similar colours, avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean.

What are the benefits of the ripstop finish?

The ripstop finish involves a special reinforcing technique that makes the fabric resistant to tearing and ripping. It enhances the durability of the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The ILUS Lite stretch fabric is designed for freedom of movement, so significant restriction may indicate an improper fit.

Zipper is difficult to close or open.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the fabric away. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) to the teeth for smoother operation.

Reduced breathability.

Ensure the jacket's internal lining is clean. Over time, body oils and dirt can accumulate, affecting breathability. Follow the care instructions for washing.
