Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and moisture, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend washing in cool water and avoiding harsh softeners.

Does it have internal pockets?

Yes, it features six pockets in total, including designated space for a phone.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, the softshell construction is designed to allow moisture vapor to escape, making it comfortable during moderate physical activity.

What is the PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco coating?

It is an eco-friendly water-repellent finish that allows water to bead and slide off the surface without using harmful chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the surface of the jacket.

The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt and oils, then apply a specialized re-waterproofing spray.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close.

Check for debris or fleece lining caught in the track. Gently clear the teeth and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation from the fleece lining
  • Highly functional pocket layout for tools or devices
  • Environmentally conscious Texpel Splash Eco coating
  • Adjustable cuffs and hem for a tailored fit
  • Professional, clean aesthetic suitable for work or leisure

Cons

  • Not intended for submersion or sustained heavy rain
  • Softshell material may be prone to snagging on sharp industrial objects
  • Limited to a specific color palette compared to heavy-duty high-vis alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the Portwest Charlotte Softshell, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the Texpel water-resistant coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must machine dry, use a low heat setting.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid folding the jacket tightly for long periods to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant zippers.
  4. Coatings: If water stops beading after extended use, consider applying a re-waterproofing spray designed for softshell fabrics to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) functionality.
