Full details
The Beeswift Soft Shell Jacket is designed for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts who require a versatile, weather-resistant outer layer that balances protection with comfort. Featuring a high-stretch, windproof, and breathable construction, it is ideal for active tasks in changing weather conditions. While it offers excellent warmth through its fleece lining, users should note that the jacket is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, making it better suited for light showers rather than heavy, sustained rain.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is highly water-resistant and windproof, making it suitable for light rain and showers, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged rain.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
The fleece lining provides good insulation, but for extreme cold, it is recommended to use the jacket as part of a layered clothing system.
How should I clean the Cordura trim?
The Cordura trim is durable; you can gently scrub the area with a soft brush and mild soap if it becomes heavily soiled.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the zipped front pockets are designed to hold standard-sized smartphones and personal tools securely.
Is this unisex?
Yes, the design is suitable for both men and women, provided you select the appropriate size for your build.
Will the fabric restrict my movement?
No, the jacket is made from high-stretch fabric specifically chosen to provide a full range of movement.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric in heavy rain
The jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. Consider using a dedicated technical garment spray-on re-proofer to refresh the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zip is clean, you can apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the tracks to improve smoothness.
Static build-up
This is common with synthetic materials like fleece. Using a light anti-static spray or washing with a dedicated technical detergent can help minimize this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of the jacket, always follow the care label instructions provided on the garment. Generally, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water with a mild detergent to preserve the water-resistant coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability of the fabric membrane. For sizing, the jacket is designed for a comfortable, standard fit; use the hip drawcord to tighten the base if you are working in particularly windy conditions to prevent drafts from entering. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials.
