Product Information

Full details

The Portwest Oregon Men's Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, contemporary jacket that offers protection from the elements without compromising on style. Its key benefit is the combination of durability, breathability, windproof, and water-resistant fabric, making it suitable for various outdoor activities or work environments. A potential caveat is that while extremely water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, meaning prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to penetration.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket is described as 'extremely water-resistant' with a WP 3,000mm rating. While it offers excellent protection against moderate rain, it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

What is the primary material of the jacket?

The Shell Fabric is 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane, bonded to 100% Polyester Micro Polar Fleece Softshell, totaling 320g for the 2-layer construction. The product description also mentions a 3-layer protection system.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, the micro polar fleece lining bonded with the shell provides enhanced warmth, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. For very cold conditions, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a total of 5 pockets: two standard side pockets and one zipped mobile phone pocket located on the chest.

What does '50+ UPF rated fabric' mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering significant sun protection.

How should I clean the jacket to preserve its water resistance?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors and tumble dry on low. For best results in maintaining water repellency, consider using a technical wash product designed for outdoor gear and re-applying a DWR treatment periodically.

What are the breathability and waterproof ratings?

The jacket has a breathability rating of MVP 1000g/m²/24hr and a waterproofness rating of WP 3,000mm.

Troubleshooting

Water resistance seems reduced

The water-repellent finish may have degraded over time. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Ensure the garment is clean and dry before application.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If layering, consider a lighter base layer or a larger size. Adjust the drawcord hem and hook and loop cuffs for a more comfortable fit.

Fleece lining is pilling

Pilling can occur with normal wear and washing. To minimize this, wash the jacket inside out on a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive materials. Use a fabric shaver for any minor pilling that occurs.
