FAQs
What is the primary function of this softshell jacket?
The primary function is to provide wind resistance and breathability, making it ideal for outdoor work in moderate conditions or as a versatile layering piece.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light moisture or brief showers, but it is not fully waterproof for extended heavy rain.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Iron on a low setting if needed.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
While it offers wind protection, it is unlined. For cold weather, it's best worn as an outer layer over insulating garments like fleece or down.
What are the pocket options?
The jacket features a chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets for secure storage.
How do I adjust the fit?
The hem can be adjusted with a drawstring, and the sleeve ends are adjustable with Velcro straps.
What material is the jacket made from?
The main material is 100% polyester, a 2-layer softshell fabric that is bonded and water repellent, weighing 255 g/m².
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. You can also apply a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth to lubricate it.
Jacket feels too cold in lower temperatures.
This is a softshell jacket designed for wind resistance and breathability. For colder weather, layer an insulating piece, such as a fleece or down jacket, underneath.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended. Ensure the fabric's water-repellent treatment hasn't worn off; reapplying a suitable fabric treatment may help.
Drawstring at the hem is not holding.
Ensure the drawstring is properly threaded through the hem channels and that the cord lock mechanism is functioning. If it's loose, it may need adjustment or replacement.
