FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the mesh-back design?

The mesh-back design enhances airflow and breathability, helping to regulate body temperature and prevent overheating, especially during physical activity or in milder conditions.

Is this jacket waterproof?

This jacket is a softshell designed for protection and breathability. While it offers some resistance to light wind and moisture, it is not fully waterproof and is best suited for changeable weather rather than heavy rain.

What type of material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is constructed from polyester, featuring a softshell finish for flexibility and comfort, with a mesh-back panel for improved ventilation.

How should I care for my Lyle & Scott Softshell Jacket?

Machine wash cold with similar colors. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for precise instructions.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and is suitable for layering. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it with warmer insulating layers underneath.

What does the embroidered eagle logo signify?

The embroidered eagle logo is a signature branding element of Lyle & Scott, representing the brand's heritage and design aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The regular fit is designed for easy layering, but very bulky items underneath may reduce mobility. Consider pairing with slimmer fitting mid-layers.

Reduced breathability

Check that the mesh-back is not obstructed and that internal layers are not overly thick. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and debris can sometimes impede airflow.

Zipper is stiff

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
