FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Blaklader 4950 Softshell Jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not keep you dry in prolonged heavy rain.
What material is the jacket made from?
The main material is 100% polyester, 2-layer softshell fabric, which is bonded, water-repellent, and weighs 255 g/m².
Can I wear this in cold winter weather?
This jacket is unlined and best suited for mild to cool conditions. For colder weather, it is recommended to wear it as an outer layer over insulating garments like fleece or thermal wear.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.
What kind of pockets does it have?
It features a chest pocket with a zipper, front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets for secure storage.
Does the jacket have a hood?
No, this specific model (4950) does not come with a hood. It features a fleece-lined collar for neck warmth.
How can I adjust the fit?
The jacket has adjustable sleeve ends with velcro closures and an adjustable hem with a drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit and seal out drafts.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a graphite pencil or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Check for any damage to the zipper pull or track.
Jacket feels cold in windy conditions
The jacket is designed for wind resistance, not heavy insulation. For colder weather, layer a warm fleece or insulated jacket underneath. Ensure the hem and cuffs are tightened to prevent drafts.
Water repellency is decreasing
Wash the jacket according to care instructions without fabric softener. Re-apply a water-repellent treatment suitable for softshell fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
