Product Information
Full details
The DLX Samantha Eco Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women who seek a blend of performance and sustainability during outdoor excursions. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a protective TPU membrane and a cozy, textured fleece backing that keeps you warm and shielded from the elements. While it offers excellent coverage with its longer silhouette, users should note that as a softshell garment, it is designed for breathability and light weather resistance rather than heavy-duty, waterproof mountain expeditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
It features a water-repellent zip and a protective TPU membrane, making it highly water-resistant, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy storm conditions.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the jacket includes an adjustable zip-off hood that can be easily removed when not needed.
How do I clean the fleece interior?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain the breathable performance of the material.
What does the XXL size represent?
The XXL size is designed for a larger adult fit, offering the same technical features and length as other sizes in the Samantha range.
Is the jacket suitable for extreme mountain climbing?
This jacket is best suited for hiking, walking, and daily outdoor activities; for extreme, high-altitude mountaineering, a technical hardshell would be recommended.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off; apply a technical fabric reproofer spray.
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently clear any dirt or grit from the zip track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, unzip the hood before washing to prevent snagging. Always check the internal care label, but generally, use a non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can compromise the performance of the water-repellent coating. After several washes, consider using a technical garment reproofer to maintain the water-repellent finish on the outer polyester fabric. Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger rather than folded to maintain the shape of the membrane.
