FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this softshell jacket?
The Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is designed to provide wind resistance and breathability for active use, protecting you from the elements during moderate weather conditions or as a layering piece.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is water repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or moisture but is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell would be necessary.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The jacket features adjustable sleeve ends with Velcro straps and an adjustable hem with a drawstring. Use these to customize the fit and seal out drafts.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
While the fleece-lined collar offers some warmth, the jacket is unlined. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to wear insulating layers (like a base layer and a fleece mid-layer) underneath.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester, featuring a 2-layer, bonded softshell fabric that is water repellent and breathable. It includes a fleece lining in the collar.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features practical storage with one chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and internal pockets.
What is the recommended washing method?
Machine wash at a maximum of 40°C (104°F). Do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron at a low temperature. Avoid fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels cold in windy conditions
This jacket is water repellent and wind resistant, but unlined. For colder temperatures, wear appropriate thermal base layers or a fleece mid-layer underneath for added insulation.
Loose threads or stitching
Carefully trim any loose threads with scissors. If stitching is significantly unraveling, contact customer support for warranty information.
Reduced water repellency after washing
Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. After washing and drying, you can reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish spray according to the product's instructions to restore water-repellent properties.
