Product Information

Full details

The DLX Christine Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a blend of breathability and weather resistance during moderate alpine or casual hiking activities. Constructed with a protective TPU membrane and a warming soft backing, it excels at blocking wind and light precipitation, though it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours as it lacks seam-sealed construction.

FAQs

Is the DLX Christine Jacket completely waterproof?

It features a waterproof TPU membrane and water-repellent zips, making it highly effective for light rain and snow, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof rain jacket.

Can I wear this jacket for skiing?

It is suitable for dry or moderately snowy conditions, but for heavy resort skiing, you may prefer an additional insulating layer underneath.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it on a hanger in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the TPU membrane.

Does this jacket have an adjustable hood?

The Christine model focuses on a streamlined fit; check the specific product tag, as features can vary by production season.

Is the fabric stretchy?

Yes, the softshell polyester material is designed to provide good range of motion, making it ideal for active outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Water starts to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off; re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the exterior.

Zippers are sticking or difficult to pull

Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove grit or debris and ensure the water-repellent sealant is not being pinched.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent wind resistance for protection in exposed areas
Breathable design prevents overheating during active use
Adjustable cuffs and hem allow for a tailored, draft-free fit
Water-repellent zippers keep essential items dry in light rain

Cons

Not fully seam-sealed for heavy or prolonged rain exposure
Best suited for moderate temperatures rather than extreme arctic conditions
Limited to a specific color palette (Blue)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket maintains its weather-protective properties, follow these guidelines:

Fit Adjustment: Before heading out, tighten the cuff tabs and adjust the drawcord hem to create a custom seal around your wrists and waist.
Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to maximize the jacket's breathability.
Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for synthetic, water-repellent clothing. Avoid harsh fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish from the outer shell.
Drying: Air dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the membrane.
