Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Charlotte Softshell is a versatile, stylish outer layer designed for adult women who need reliable protection against wind and light rain during outdoor activities. Its primary strength lies in the combination of a windproof, water-resistant exterior and a cozy micro polar fleece lining, providing both comfort and utility; however, users should note that while it is water-resistant, it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket for heavy downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but avoid fabric softeners and high-heat tumble drying.

Is the Portwest Charlotte Softshell waterproof?

It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof jacket for heavy rain.

Does it have an internal pocket?

Yes, part of its six-pocket configuration includes storage suitable for a mobile phone.

What material is the lining made of?

The lining is made of soft micro polar fleece for added warmth.

Can I adjust the cuffs?

Yes, the jacket features adjustable hook and loop cuffs for a secure, custom fit.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?

It is a light-to-mid-weight softshell. It provides warmth in cool conditions, but in freezing temperatures, you should layer it over additional thermal clothing.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the fabric surface.

The DWR (durable water repellent) finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and consider reapplying a PFAS-free DWR spray compatible with polyester softshells.

Zipper is sticking.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If it remains stiff, gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of non-staining lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the water-repellent properties of the Texpel Splash Eco treatment, avoid using heavy fabric softeners when washing. The jacket should be machine-washed on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Always close all zippers and secure the hook and loop cuffs before washing to prevent snagging. Hang the garment to air dry; do not tumble dry at high temperatures as this can damage the performance coatings. When fitting, ensure the adjustable drawcord at the hem is loosened before putting on the jacket to maximize ease of movement.
