SOL'S Falcon Padded Soft Shell Jacket - Blue - M

This jacket is ideal for cool to mild weather conditions, offering protection against wind and light to moderate rain. It's suitable for everyday wear, hiking, and other outdoor activities where variable conditions are expected.

Please refer to the size chart provided in the product details. For this jacket, size M corresponds to a chest size of approximately 40 inches.

It can function as both. As a standalone piece, it offers protection from wind and moderate rain. In colder conditions, it can serve as an effective insulating layer under a waterproof shell.

The hood is elasticated and 'grown-on,' meaning it is permanently attached. While it does not have drawstrings for adjustment, the elasticated edge helps it stay in place.

A 5000mm rating indicates the jacket can withstand a hydrostatic head of 5000mm of water before leaking. This is generally considered good for moderate rain protection.

The pockets are zippered, which helps to prevent water ingress. However, the jacket's overall rating is 5000mm, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain might eventually affect items in the pockets.

This certification means that the product and its manufacturing process do not involve any animal products or testing on animals.

The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Consider re-applying a specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for softshell fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.

This can sometimes occur after washing or drying. Gently try to smooth out the lining by hand. Ensure the jacket was not over-dried on high heat.

Avoid high heat drying methods, as they can degrade elastic components. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended for preserving elasticity.
