FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Exodus Softshell is treated for water resistance, making it suitable for light rain. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I know which size to choose?
Please refer to the size guide provided by Mountain Warehouse for accurate measurements. The jacket is designed for adult women and is available in various sizes.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is a lightweight layer. For cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over warmer garments. It provides wind protection but limited insulation on its own.
What is the warranty period?
The jacket comes with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Will the water resistance last?
The DWR treatment will naturally wear off over time with washing and use. It can be refreshed using specific re-waterproofing products designed for outdoor apparel.
What is the difference between water-resistant and waterproof?
Water-resistant means the fabric can repel water to a certain extent, ideal for light rain. Waterproof means the fabric is impermeable to water, even under prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Water resistance seems reduced.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, rub a graphite pencil lead or a bit of wax along the teeth to lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels less windproof.
Ensure all closures (zipper, cuffs, hem) are fully secured. The windproof membrane is most effective when the jacket is properly sealed.
Jacket lining feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from detergent residue. Check care label for washing instructions; improper washing can affect fabric feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, the jacket comes in various sizes to ensure a good fit. It can be layered over other clothing for added warmth.
Care Instructions: To maintain the water-resistant properties and longevity of the jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and powders, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Re-waterproofing: For enhanced water repellency, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofer suitable for softshell fabrics after several washes, following the product's instructions.
