Product Information
Full details
The Portwest Oregon Softshell (3L) is a high-performance outer layer designed for active men working in unpredictable weather conditions. It provides an essential balance of breathability, wind protection, and water resistance, making it an ideal choice for outdoor site work or commute layering. While it offers excellent thermal retention through its micro polar fleece lining, users should note that as a softshell, it is highly resistant but not fully waterproof for prolonged, heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is designed for water resistance. It handles light rain and mist well due to the Texpel finish, but it is not a substitute for a seam-sealed waterproof rain jacket.
Does this jacket include a hood?
No, this specific model (TK40) is designed as a collar-style jacket without a hood.
Can I fit a mobile phone in the chest pocket?
Yes, the jacket includes a dedicated zippered chest pocket specifically designed for secure mobile phone storage.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the 3-layer softshell construction is engineered to be breathable, allowing moisture to escape during active use.
How should I wash this garment?
Machine wash cool with like colors. Avoid bleach and professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity of the water-resistant finish.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface.
The Texpel finish may need to be reactivated; a light tumble dry on a cool setting or re-application of a technical DWR spray can restore performance.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a dry silicone lubricant spray to help the water-resistant zippers move smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Portwest Oregon Softshell, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash at a cool temperature with similar colors. Avoid aggressive detergents that may strip the water-resistant coating.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If tumble drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting to prevent damaging the fleece fibers or the softshell lamination.
- Fit Adjustment: Before starting work, tighten the hook and loop cuffs to prevent heat loss through the sleeves and pull the drawcord at the hem to create a secure seal against the wind.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape and ensure the zippers are kept closed to preserve the moisture-resistant seal.
