Product Information

Full details

This Portwest TK40 Oregon Softshell Jacket in Black (Size L) is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, water-resistant, and windproof outer layer. Its primary benefit is providing protection against light rain and wind while maintaining breathability. A minor caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. Key features include a durable, breathable, windproof, and water-resistant fabric, a micro polar fleece lining, multiple zippered pockets including a chest phone pocket, and adjustable cuffs for a secure fit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain and showers effectively. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours where full waterproofing is required.

How do I wash the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C (104°F) with similar colours. Avoid using bleach, and tumble dry on a low setting or iron on a low heat. Do not dry clean.

What does UPF 50+ protection mean?

UPF 50+ signifies that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering excellent protection against sun exposure.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket has a micro polar fleece lining for warmth, making it suitable for cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer additional insulating clothing underneath.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features five pockets in total: two side pockets, a zipped mobile phone pocket on the chest, and two additional main zipped compartments.

What is the Texpel™ Splash Eco finish?

This is a PFAS-free fabric treatment that makes water bead and roll off the surface, helping to keep the garment dry and clean. It's an environmentally conscious water-repellent finish.

Are the zippers completely waterproof?

The zippers are water-resistant, designed to prevent water from easily penetrating. However, they are not fully watertight, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain might lead to some minimal ingress.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside.

This can occur during heavy or prolonged rain due to the water-resistant, not waterproof, nature of the fabric. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. For less intense conditions, the breathability should prevent internal dampness from sweat.

Water is not beading off the fabric as effectively.

The Texpel™ Splash Eco finish may have worn off over time. Consider reapplying a suitable fabric protector spray designed for outdoor wear to restore water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
