Product Information

Full details

This versatile softshell jacket is designed for adult males seeking a practical and durable outerwear option for everyday wear and work environments. Its key benefit lies in its H20Shield water-repellent finish and wind-resistant properties, keeping you protected from light rain and splashes. A potential caveat is its primary focus on water repellency rather than full waterproofing, meaning prolonged heavy rain exposure may not be suitable.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish (H20Shield) which repels rain and water-based stains. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged heavy rain.

What type of material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from a stretch polyester outer with a striped microfleece back for added warmth.

Can I wear this jacket in the wind?

Yes, the jacket is wind-resistant, helping to protect you from chilling winds.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and do not iron.

Does it have secure pockets?

Yes, the jacket features zipped pockets for secure storage of personal items.

What does 'agile design' mean in the description?

Agile design refers to the jacket's construction that allows for freedom of movement and flexibility, making it practical for everyday activities and potentially more physically demanding tasks.

What is the benefit of the microfleece back?

The striped microfleece back provides an additional layer of insulation, offering extra warmth in cooler conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The H20Shield finish may need replenishing. Clean the jacket and apply a suitable reproofing spray or wash, following the product's instructions.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and consider if a larger size or different fit is needed.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to help them glide smoothly.

Jacket is not warm enough in very cold weather.

Layering is recommended. Wear a warm base layer and/or a fleece or insulating jacket underneath for added warmth.
