YATO YT-79543 softshell jacket, black and dark grey, XL
Three-layer softshell work jacket with a breathable membrane, designed for work in changing weather conditions and for outdoor activities. It combines 8000 mm water resistance with 3000 MVP breathability.
Features of the YATO softshell jacket
Three-layer softshell construction
An abrasion-resistant outer polyester layer, a breathable middle membrane and an inner layer for thermal comfort. A fabric weight of 320 g/m² provides wind protection while maintaining the fabric's flexibility.
8000 mm H₂O water resistance rating
A hydrostatic head of 8000 mm provides protection against moderate rain and drizzle. The fabric withstands water pressure equivalent to rainfall of 8-10 mm/h for around 2-3 hours. This is not a jacket for heavy rainfall.
3000 MVP breathability
An MVP (Moisture Vapour Permeability) rating of 3000 g/m²/24h indicates moderate water vapour permeability. The membrane wicks moisture away during moderate physical exertion, preventing the body from overheating.
4% elastane content
The elastane content makes the fabric stretch in four directions. The jacket follows the body's movements and does not restrict you when working in a bent position or raising your arms.

How does a softshell differ from a conventional rain jacket?
A softshell offers higher breathability, greater flexibility and more comfortable wear than rigid hardshell membrane jackets. The drawback is lower water resistance – a softshell performs well in drizzle and short showers, but it will not replace a membrane jacket in hours-long rain. A fabric weight of 320 g/m² also provides better thermal insulation than thin hardshell jackets.
Use and care
Softshell jackets require regular care to maintain their membrane performance. Wash at no more than 30°C without fabric softener, which clogs the membrane pores. Dry flat, without using a tumble dryer. After a dozen or so washes, reactivate the water-repellent finish by ironing through a cotton cloth at up to 110°C or by applying a reproofing spray.
Water-resistant zips should be lubricated periodically with a dedicated silicone lubricant or beeswax. This prevents the slider from sticking and water from penetrating through the zip teeth. Regular cleaning of lint and dirt from the hook-and-loop fastenings extends their service life.
How do you choose the right size for a work jacket?
Size XL corresponds to a chest measurement of 112-116 cm and a sleeve length of 66-68 cm (measured from the neck over the shoulder to the wrist). A softshell jacket should be loose enough to allow a fleece or a thin insulating layer to be worn underneath. Check your freedom of movement – raise your arms and bend forward – the fabric should not stretch excessively at the elbows and underarms.
