Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Genesis Women's Softshell Jacket is designed for adult females seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing water-resistance and windproof capabilities, keeping you comfortable in varying weather conditions. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may eventually penetrate.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or splashes. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What type of weather is this jacket best for?
It is ideal for cool, windy, and moderately wet conditions, such as spring or autumn days, or breezy summer evenings.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket provides wind protection but has limited insulation. It is best worn as an outer layer in mild temperatures or as a mid-layer with warmer clothing underneath in colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying. Air dry or tumble dry on low.
What are the washing instructions?
Wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
Does it have a hood?
This specific model, the Genesis Softshell Jacket, does not come with a hood based on the product description.
What materials is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively anymore
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth.
Velcro cuffs losing grip
Clean the hook and loop surfaces with a stiff brush to remove lint and debris. Ensure they are dry before fastening.
