FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Stanton Softshell Jacket?

The primary benefit is its advanced breathability (2000mvp) combined with waterproofing (5000mm), allowing users to stay dry from both external moisture and internal sweat during strenuous activity.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the fleece lining provides warmth, making it suitable for cold weather. However, for extreme sub-zero temperatures, it might be best used as part of a layering system with additional insulation.

How do I wash the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at a maximum of 40°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. For best results, hang dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket features a waterproof TPU membrane rated to 5000mm and waterproof zips, providing good protection in heavy rain.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 340gsm softshell fabric, consisting of 96% Polyester and 4% Spandex, with a waterproof TPU membrane and a fleece lining.

What sizes are available?

The Stanton Softshell Jacket is available in a range of sizes from Small (S) to 3 Extra Large (3XL).

Does the jacket have adjustable cuffs or hood?

The product description does not specify adjustable cuffs or a hood. It focuses on the fabric technology, fit, and core features like waterproofing and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.

This could be due to insufficient breathability for intense activity or the waterproof membrane needing re-proofer treatment. Ensure the garment is clean and try a lower-heat tumble dry to reactivate any DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating if applicable. For prolonged heavy activity, consider the garment's breathability limits.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Fleece lining is pilling or shedding.

This is common with fleece. Wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and excessive agitation. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Fit is too tight or restrictive.

While designed for a tailored fit, if it feels too restrictive, ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider if a larger size is needed. Check the size guide before purchase for best results.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability reduces overheating during physical work.
  • High waterproof rating keeps the wearer dry in wet conditions.
  • Fleece lining provides warmth and comfort in colder weather.
  • Durable softshell material offers good resistance to wear and tear.
  • Flexible fabric allows for unrestricted movement.

Cons

  • Only available in black, limiting color options.
  • Breathability rating is moderate, not suitable for extreme heat.
  • May be too warm for mild weather conditions due to fleece lining.
  • Primarily designed for male build, may not fit all body types perfectly.
  • Waterproof zips, while functional, can sometimes be less durable than non-waterproof variants if not cared for.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The Stanton Softshell Jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer. It pairs well with base layers and work trousers from TuffStuff's workwear collection, such as the Hyperflex Joggers or Pro Work Trousers, for a cohesive and functional work outfit. Available in sizes Small to 3XL, it aims to accommodate a wide range of professional body types.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and appearance:

  1. Machine Wash: Use a standard washing machine.
  2. Temperature: Wash at a maximum of 40°C.
  3. Detergent: Use mild detergent.
  4. Colors: Wash with similar colors to prevent color transfer.
  5. Drying: Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat which can damage the waterproof membrane.
  6. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases occur, use a low-heat steam setting if absolutely necessary, away from any printed logos.
