Product Information

Full details

This Portwest Wx3 Leaf Softshell Jacket in Black XXXL is designed for adult males seeking a blend of style, protection, and sustainability in their outerwear. Its key benefit is offering robust windproof, water-resistant, and breathable performance with a comfortable fleece lining, ideal for varied weather conditions. A minor consideration is that the water-resistant finish is PFAS-free, which is environmentally positive but may require reapplication over time to maintain peak performance.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides good protection against wind and has a fleece lining for warmth. For extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over warmer insulating garments.

How do I reapply the water-resistant finish?

After washing according to the care instructions, apply a PFAS-free water repellent spray or wash-in treatment. Follow the specific product instructions for application and drying.

What does 'PFAS-free' mean for the water repellency?

PFAS-free means the water-repellent treatment does not use per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are considered harmful to the environment. This finish provides effective water beading while being more eco-friendly.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 40°C (104°F) with similar colors. Avoid bleach and high heat drying or ironing.

What makes the elbows 'pre-formed'?

Pre-formed elbows are shaped ergonomically to match the natural bend of the arm, allowing for greater freedom of movement and reducing fabric bunching or pulling when you bend your elbows.

What materials are used in this jacket?

The shell is made of 94% recycled polyester and 6% elastane, bonded to 100% recycled micro polyester fleece. The contrast fabric is 100% recycled polyester.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features multiple pockets for ample storage, including a dedicated phone pocket and a zipped chest pocket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.

The Texpel™ Splash Eco finish may need reapplication. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable PFAS-free water repellent spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.

Reduced breathability leading to feeling warm and damp inside.

Ensure the back vent is not obstructed. Check that the inner fleece lining is clean. If the jacket has been heavily soiled, a gentle wash may restore breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
