What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made of 100% polyester fleece with a fabric weight of 260g/m².
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, this is a fleece jacket designed for warmth and comfort. It is not waterproof. For protection against rain, an outer shell is recommended.
How should I wash the jacket?
You can machine wash it normally at 40°C. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying. Iron at a low temperature.
What is the purpose of the extended rear panel?
The extended rear panel provides extra coverage at the lower back, preventing exposure when bending, stretching, or lifting, often referred to as preventing the 'plumber's smile'.
Does it have internal pockets?
This model features two spacious front pockets and one chest pocket, all secured with zippers. It does not have internal pockets.
What sizes are available?
This particular variant is size L. The Blaklader 4830 model is available in a range of sizes from XS to XXXXL.
Can this jacket be used for very cold weather?
It provides good warmth as a mid-layer. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it with a thermal base layer and a protective outer jacket.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Apply a graphite pencil (lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels less warm than expected
This jacket is designed as a mid-layer. For colder weather, consider wearing a thermal base layer underneath or a waterproof/windproof outer shell over it.
Pilling despite 'anti-pilling' feature
While anti-pilling treatments significantly reduce the issue, some minor pilling can occur over extended periods or with abrasive contact. Follow care instructions carefully, and avoid washing with harsh materials.
