FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the e.dye® Waterless Color System™?
The e.dye® Waterless Color System™ is an innovative dyeing technology that saturates yarn with color without using water, significantly reducing environmental impact compared to traditional dyeing methods.
How does the 8000 MM water column rating translate to real-world use?
An 8000 MM water column rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of 8000 millimeters of water before water starts to penetrate. This provides good protection against moderate to heavy rain.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed as a performance shell. While it offers wind and water resistance, it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over warmer mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
What is the fit like?
The jacket features a structured, streamlined design that maintains a clean and controlled profile. It balances flexibility with structure, offering a comfortable fit that is not overly baggy.
How should I care for the Stone Island badge?
Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and the badge. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat during drying and ironing.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from a three-ply performance material with a polyester stretch canvas outer face, a breathable inner membrane, and a textured polyester jersey backing layer.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the surface anymore
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider applying a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
Jacket feels less breathable, causing clamminess
The fabric may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Ensure thorough rinsing after washing and consider a specialized technical wash if the issue persists. Avoid fabric softeners.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is present. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth).
Seams appear to be leaking water
While the fabric is waterproof, seam leakage can occur if seams are damaged or not properly sealed. Check for any visible damage to seam tape. For minor issues, a seam sealer might be applicable, but significant damage may require professional repair.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Stone Island Softshell Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Bleaching: Do not bleach the garment.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid high temperatures which can damage the fabric's membrane.
- Ironing: Iron at a low temperature (maximum 110°C / 230°F) without steam. If ironing with steam, use extreme caution as it can damage the material.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. The chemicals used can degrade the performance materials.
- Special Care: Ensure all zippers and fastenings are closed before washing. Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect the outer surface and the iconic badge.
