Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Bracken Melange 3 in 1 Womens Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a versatile outerwear solution for travel and everyday wear. Its key benefit is offering three distinct wearing options: a waterproof outer shell, a warm inner softshell jacket, or both combined for maximum protection. A potential caveat is that while highly waterproof, the breathability rating is moderate, which might be a consideration for intense aerobic activities.

FAQs
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat or hang dry. A low heat tumble dry can help revive the water-repellent finish.
Can I wear the inner and outer jackets separately?
Yes, the jacket is designed for this. The outer shell can be worn on its own as a waterproof layer, and the inner softshell jacket can be worn as a standalone warm layer.
What is the waterproof rating?
The IsoDry fabric has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, suitable for heavy rain.
What is the breathability rating?
The breathability rating is 5,000g, which allows perspiration to pass through the fabric.
Does the hood detach?
Yes, the hood is adjustable and detachable for added versatility in different weather conditions.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The outer jacket features two zipped front pockets, one zipped chest pocket, and one internal zipped pocket with an MP3/mobile phone holder. The inner softshell jacket has two zipped side pockets.
What material is the jacket made from?
The outer jacket is made from Polyester, and the inner jacket is also typically Polyester (softshell). The specific material composition can be found on the product's care label.
Troubleshooting
Outer jacket not fully waterproof after washing
Ensure all detergents are rinsed out. The DWR coating may have worn off; consider reapplying a DWR treatment following product instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.
Inner jacket detachment issues
Ensure both jackets are fully aligned before zipping. Check for any debris or fabric caught in the zippers or connection points.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Ensure the inner jacket is detached if not needed, or open vents if available. Check that the mesh lining is clear and not obstructed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly versatile with three wearing options suitable for various weather conditions.
- Fully waterproof with taped seams and a storm flap for excellent protection.
- Detachable and adjustable hood provides flexibility for different environments.
- Ample storage with multiple zipped pockets, including a dedicated internal pocket for electronics.
- Breathable fabric helps manage moisture during moderate activity.
Cons
- Breathability rating of 5,000g may not be sufficient for high-intensity activities where heavy perspiration is expected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Zipping the Layers Together: Align the zippers of the outer shell and the inner softshell jacket. The outer jacket typically has a specific zipper system (often a full-length coil zipper with a storm flap) designed to connect with a complementary zipper on the inner jacket. Zip them securely together from the bottom up.
- Attaching the Hood: If the hood has been detached, reattach it by following the instructions for your specific model, usually involving a zipper or press studs around the neckline.
Compatibility:
- This jacket is designed as a 3-in-1 system, meaning the inner jacket is specifically made to integrate with the outer shell. Other garments are not designed for this connection.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the waterproof and breathable membrane.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators. Once dry, a low heat tumble dry for 20 minutes can help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Re-Waterproofing: For enhanced water repellency, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofer designed for technical outdoor clothing after several washes.
