FAQs
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from a unique 3D fleece material (97% polyester, 3% elastane) that is brushed on one side. It also features softshell reinforcements.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth due to its fleece composition. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer over other insulating garments.
Does this jacket come in men's sizes?
While this specific model is a women's cut, Blaklader offers a similar men's model (MPN 5942) in various sizes.
How do I ensure I get the right fit?
Refer to the sizing chart for women's apparel. The jacket has a specific women's cut with a pointed waist. Consider your typical fit preferences when selecting a size.
Can the zippered pockets hold a smartphone?
The chest and front pockets are zippered for security. Their capacity is suitable for essentials like keys, wallets, or smaller smartphones.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant due to the softshell components, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed for warmth and protection against light wind and moisture.
How should I clean the softshell parts?
The care instructions apply to the entire jacket, including the softshell parts. Use mild detergent, wash cold, and avoid high heat during drying.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and run the zipper up and down several times.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Check if the size is correct. The jacket is designed with a women's cut; consider trying a size up if more room is needed, especially in the shoulders or chest.
Fleece material is pilling or losing softness
Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully. Avoid excessive heat and harsh detergents. Wash inside out to protect the outer surface.
Softshell reinforcements feel stiff after washing
Ensure the jacket is not dried on high heat. Air drying or low-heat tumble drying is recommended to maintain the flexibility of the softshell material.
