The Mountain Warehouse Grasmere Soft Shell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active adults seeking a balance between lightweight protection and thermal comfort. Featuring a durable polyester-elastane blend with a bonded fleece lining, it provides reliable warmth and breathability during varied outdoor activities; however, while it includes a DWR finish for water repellency, it is designed as a soft shell and is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

It is water-repellent due to the DWR finish, but not waterproof. It is best suited for light rain and misty conditions.
It serves well as a mid-layer or as an outer layer for active winter sports, but for static, sub-zero temperatures, you may need a heavier insulated jacket.
Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can block the breathability of the fabric.
The soft shell fabric offers a high degree of wind resistance, making it much warmer than standard fleeces in windy conditions.
The Grasmere model features a standing collar design without a hood.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the garment and apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and clean any grit or debris from the zipper track using a soft brush.
To maximize the longevity of your Grasmere jacket, follow these maintenance tips. Always wash the jacket in cool water with a technical detergent suitable for soft shells; avoid harsh fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish. After washing, ensure you zip all pockets and the main closure to protect the zippers during the cycle. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Periodically, if you notice water no longer beads on the outer surface, consider applying a DWR-restoring spray to re-activate the water-repellent performance.
