Softshell Jacket FAQ

Helpful answers before you choose.

Are softshell jackets fully waterproof?
Softshell jackets offer varying levels of wind and water protection. SJ500 uses a TPU composite fabric with a water-repellent outer surface, suitable for light rain and everyday outdoor conditions. For prolonged heavy rain, consider dedicated hi-vis rain gear .
What's the difference between standard and heated SJ500?
The standard SJ500 has fleece-lined comfort without active heating. Selected heated variants contain integrated heating elements for additional warmth. Make sure you select a color option marked "Heated" before checkout.
Is a battery included with the heated jacket?
Battery inclusion and power requirements should be confirmed in the selected heated variant's product details. Contact our team if you need help checking the included components before ordering.
What size should I choose for layering?
Refer to the product's actual size chart and consider the clothing you will wear underneath. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer over thicker workwear, consider sizing up.
Do JKSafety softshell jackets meet ANSI/ISEA 107 requirements?
