Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Genesis Softshell Jacket is an ideal outer layer for outdoor enthusiasts who require a reliable barrier against wind and light precipitation. It is specifically designed for active adult women looking for a versatile garment that balances durability and function; however, while the jacket provides excellent wind protection, it is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, meaning it may require a heavier shell in torrential downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Genesis Softshell is water-resistant and windproof, but it is not seam-sealed or fully waterproof for heavy rain.

Can I wear this in the winter?

It is an excellent mid-to-outer layer for winter if you utilize a proper layering system, such as a thermal base layer and a mid-layer fleece underneath.

How do I ensure the right fit?

Use the adjustable velcro cuffs to dial in the fit at the wrists, and ensure the jacket allows for enough movement in the shoulders for your specific activity.

Does it have a hood?

The specific design varies by version, but please check your specific product labels or imagery to see if your particular model includes a hood.

What material is it made of?

The jacket is constructed from durable synthetic materials, primarily polyester, chosen for its strength and moisture-wicking properties.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray.

Jacket feels stiff or dirty after heavy use.

Follow the washing instructions using a mild detergent and ensure the item is fully rinsed to remove any salt or dirt buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Genesis Softshell, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius.
  2. Detergents: Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the water-repellent coating.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the integrity of the fabric membrane.
  4. Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface over time, you can re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-resistant performance.

The jacket pairs well with merino base layers for winter layering or thin synthetic t-shirts during warmer, windy summer outings.
