Product Information
Full details
The Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a durable yet lightweight outer layer for work or outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is the high wind resistance and breathability, keeping you comfortable in variable conditions. A potential caveat is its unlined nature, which may require layering in very cold weather. Key features include pre-bent elbows for mobility, an extended back panel for coverage, a fleece-lined collar for comfort, and numerous practical pockets for storage.

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Check if the size is appropriate. Adjust the hem and cuffs to their loosest settings. Consider if layering underneath is too bulky.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water repellent treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product's instructions after washing.
Fleece collar is matted.
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Gently brush the fleece if needed after drying.
