FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours. For full waterproofing, a dedicated rain jacket would be necessary.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from a 100% polyester, 2-layer softshell fabric. It is bonded and has a water-repellent finish.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is lightweight and offers wind resistance and breathability. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer insulating layers like fleece or down.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The sleeve ends can be adjusted using the Velcro straps, and the hem can be tightened using the internal drawstring.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the chest and front pockets are secured with zippers, providing safe storage for your belongings.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash warm (40°C) with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and high heat drying. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.
Does this jacket have a hood?
No, this specific model of the Blaklader Softshell Jacket does not feature a hood.
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 wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels less wind-resistant after washing.
The water-repellent finish may have diminished. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for softshell fabrics according to the product's instructions.
Seams feel cold or offer less protection.
While the fabric is wind-resistant, seams can be potential entry points for wind. Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully and consider layering for additional warmth if needed.
Fleece-lined collar feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the collar is not twisted. If the discomfort persists, it may be a personal preference; the collar is designed for added comfort and warmth.
