Product Information

Full details

This Blåkläder 4749 softshell jacket is designed for adult males seeking a flexible, windproof, and waterproof outer layer for active work or leisure. Its key benefit is maximum freedom of movement due to its 2-way stretch fabric. A minor caveat is that while waterproof, the seams are not taped, meaning prolonged heavy rain exposure might lead to some seepage.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is unlined and designed as a windproof and waterproof shell. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating garments like fleece or down is recommended.

Can the hood be completely removed?

Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to wear the jacket without it if preferred.

What does the 'Ret 20,0' breathability rating mean?

Ret 20,0 is a measure of thermal resistance. A lower Ret value indicates better breathability. This rating suggests good breathability for many active uses, helping to prevent overheating.

How durable are the zippers?

The jacket features robust, one-way plastic zippers designed for durability and frequent use in demanding work environments.

What is the primary material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from a 3-layer softshell fabric consisting of 92% polyester and 8% elastane.

Is the jacket suitable for industrial washing?

While machine washable up to 40°C, industrial washing methods may be too harsh. Always follow the recommended care instructions to maintain the fabric's integrity and performance.

What is the difference between this jacket and a GORE-TEX jacket?

This jacket is a softshell, offering good water and wind resistance with stretch and breathability. GORE-TEX is a specific membrane technology often found in hardshell jackets, typically offering higher levels of waterproofing and breathability, often with taped seams for complete water protection.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed for a comfortable fit that allows for movement; if it feels tight, consider a larger size. Check that the hem and sleeve adjustments are not overly tightened.

Water is seeping through the fabric.

This jacket is waterproof up to 10000mm, but its seams are not taped. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, some moisture may penetrate. For heavy downpours, consider a jacket with taped seams or a dedicated rain suit.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure the zipper is clear of debris. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, check the fabric around the zipper for any snags. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach. If minor peeling occurs, it might be repairable with fabric adhesive, but significant damage may affect its function.
