Portwest Wx3 Leaf Softshell Jacket - Black - M

The 'Leaf' designation typically refers to the product line's commitment to using sustainable and environmentally friendly materials, as indicated by the use of recycled fabrics in this jacket.

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can withstand light to moderate rain for a period. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof layers may be necessary.

Ensure the jacket allows for comfortable movement without being too tight or too loose. The elasticated cuffs should fit snugly around your wrists without constricting. Refer to a size chart if available.

The jacket provides wind resistance and a fleece lining for warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.

Yes, modern recycling processes ensure that the recycled polyester used in this jacket offers comparable durability and performance to virgin polyester.

The back vent is designed to improve airflow and breathability, allowing excess heat and moisture to escape, thus enhancing comfort during physical activity.

Ensure the garment has not been washed with fabric softeners, which can impede water resistance. Check care label for any specific treatments needed to restore water repellency if applicable.

Clean the exterior fabric gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure interior fleece is dry. Excessive dirt or residues can affect breathability.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the teeth.
