FAQs

What is the primary function of this softshell jacket?

The primary function is to provide protection against light rain and wind, making it ideal for transitional weather and everyday casual wear.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

This jacket is designed to be water-resistant, which means it can handle light rain. It is not intended for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Jack & Jones. Note that this jacket features a 'Plus Fit,' which is designed for larger body types, so measurements are crucial for an accurate fit.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket is unlined and lightweight, making it suitable for mild temperatures or as a layering piece over warmer clothing in cooler weather. It is not insulated for extreme cold.

What does 'Dull Surface fabric' mean?

This refers to the finish of the fabric, which has a matte or non-shiny appearance, contributing to a more understated and casual look.

How should I care for the jacket to maintain its water-resistance?

Follow the specific care instructions: gentle wash at 40°C, do not bleach, line dry, and avoid steam ironing. Washing separately and inside out helps preserve the fabric's properties.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zipped for security. While they offer protection from casual splashes, they are not designed to be waterproof. Avoid submerging the jacket or its contents in water.

Troubleshooting

Jacket does not feel water-resistant

Ensure the fabric is clean. Over time, dirt and oils can compromise water resistance. Follow the care instructions for washing. Avoid fabric softeners which can affect performance.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it is still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a tiny drop of wax to the zipper teeth.

Ribbed cuffs feel too loose or too tight

The ribbed cuffs are designed for a snug fit. If they feel too loose, ensure you have the correct size. If they are too tight, normal wear should provide some give over time.
