Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Genesis Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing a water-resistant and windproof barrier against the elements. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy, prolonged rain may eventually penetrate. This jacket offers durability, functionality, and a comfortable fit, making it suitable for hiking, walking, and casual wear.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection during prolonged or heavy downpours.

What temperature range is this jacket best for?

This jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather conditions. For colder temperatures, layering with a warm fleece or insulated jacket underneath is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and do not dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Can I wear this over other clothing?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer and can comfortably fit over base layers or light to medium weight mid-layers.

What are the benefits of the adjustable cuffs?

The adjustable Velcro cuffs allow you to customize the fit around your wrists, helping to keep out wind and prevent drafts, while also securing sleeves in place.

Is this jacket available in other colors?

Yes, the Genesis Softshell Jacket is available in various colors, including Green, Brown, and Khaki.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside after light rain

Ensure zippers are fully closed and Velcro cuffs are tightened. For heavier rain, consider a fully waterproof outer layer. Allow jacket to air dry completely.

Wind is still noticeable through the fabric

Tighten the adjustable Velcro cuffs to create a better seal around the wrists. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed. Consider wearing a thicker base layer underneath for added warmth.

Pilling or snagging on the fabric

Avoid washing with abrasive materials. Gently remove any snags with scissors. For minor pilling, a fabric shaver can be used cautiously.
