Softshell XPT is a fabric technology that combines protection from the elements (wind and water resistance) with breathability and stretch for comfort during outdoor activities.

The sleeves feature snap fasteners that allow you to adjust the fit and cuff length for added comfort and to keep out drafts.

The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating a good level of moisture vapor transfer to help keep you dry from the inside during activity.

The jacket is made from 100% polyester Softshell XPT fabric, weighing 200gsm, with a honeycomb backing.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a suitable waterproofing spray for softshell fabrics.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat. Gently try to move the zipper. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Carefully untangle the cords. If they are very knotted, try using a needle or pin to loosen the knot before pulling them apart.

This may be due to exceeding the jacket's breathability limits during high exertion or wearing non-breathable layers underneath. Ensure you are using appropriate layers and consider removing the jacket during intense activity.
