SOL'S Falcon Padded Soft Shell Jacket - Blue - XL

A 5000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before it starts to leak. This is generally considered good for moderate rain and wet conditions.

While the jacket offers 5000mm waterproofing, it is best suited for light to moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating (e.g., 10,000mm or more) might be more appropriate.

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron. Regular cleaning and occasional reproofing will help maintain performance.

The jacket has a polar fleece lining for warmth, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions. For extreme cold, layering additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.

This likely refers to features designed to aid in ventilation or easy access to items underneath, such as pit zips or specific pocket designs, to manage body temperature.

'Grown On Hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket, as opposed to being detachable.

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details related to manufacturing defects.

Check the integrity of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If it's worn, consider a reproofing treatment. Also, ensure all zippers are fully closed and seams are intact.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and residues can clog the membrane. Check that the internal pockets are clear and the jacket is not excessively layered for the conditions.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can help smooth operation.

Avoid high heat drying, which can degrade elastic. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended. If significantly stretched, elasticity may not be fully recoverable.
