Product Information
Full details
The DLX Flanagan Softshell Jacket is an essential outer layer for adult hikers, walkers, and campers who require a balance of movement and weather protection. It offers a high-performance 15,000mm waterproof rating and 10,000mvp breathability, keeping you dry while preventing overheating during strenuous activity. While it provides excellent windproofing and warmth without excess bulk, potential buyers should note that as a softshell, it is designed for active mobility rather than extreme arctic conditions.

FAQs
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' style, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar of the jacket.
Can I use this jacket in heavy snow?
While the jacket is highly water-resistant, it is a softshell. It is best suited for cold, active pursuits rather than prolonged exposure to heavy snow.
Does it have internal pockets?
The primary storage consists of the multiple external water-repellent zip pockets for easy access to gear.
How should I choose my size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. Use a measuring tape to check your chest size and compare it to the size chart to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for base layers underneath.
How do I maintain the waterproof rating?
Regularly cleaning the fabric prevents dirt and oils from clogging the pores, and applying a re-waterproofing treatment once or twice a year will maintain the external beading.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading off the surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and use a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment to restore performance.
Feeling damp inside during light activity
Ensure you are using a moisture-wicking base layer. The jacket is breathable, but it needs an effective base layer to move sweat away from your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life and performance of your DLX Flanagan jacket, always secure all zips and adjusters before washing. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear, as standard detergents can strip the protective finish. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach. To reactivate the water-repellent properties, tumble dry on a low heat setting if the care label permits, or air dry away from direct heat sources. Store the jacket on a hanger in a dry place to keep the TPU membrane from folding or cracking.
