FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The main material is 100% polyester, specifically a 2-layer, bonded softshell fabric that is wind-repellent and breathable. It weighs 255 g/m².
Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?
This is a lightweight jacket designed for wind protection and breathability. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over warmer garments like fleece or insulated jackets.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The jacket features adjustable cuffs with Velcro fasteners and an adjustable hem with a drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and to seal out drafts.
What types of pockets are included?
The jacket includes a chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets for convenient and secure storage.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 40°C with like colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve the fabric's wind-repellent and breathable qualities.
What does 'pre-bent elbows' mean for the fit?
Pre-bent elbows are designed to mimic the natural shape of your arms when bent, providing a more comfortable and less restrictive fit during activities that involve arm movement.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels tight around the neck.
Adjust the fleece-lined collar. Ensure the front zipper is fully closed but not strained.
Cuffs are not staying in place.
Ensure the Velcro straps on the adjustable cuffs are securely fastened. Check for lint or debris on the Velcro that might be preventing a tight seal.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Follow the care instructions to wash the jacket. Consider applying a suitable water-repellent treatment spray designed for softshell or synthetic fabrics after washing and drying.
