Russell Athletic 3 Layer Soft Shell Jacket - Silver - S

A 5000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before leaking. This generally translates to good protection against light to moderate rain and showers.

The jacket provides wind resistance and some insulation with its lining. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over warmer mid-layers like a fleece or insulated jacket.

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying on high heat. Hang dry and do not iron. It's also recommended to periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency.

The jacket is certified by Amfori, Better Cotton Initiative, BSCI, Fair Labor Association, Oeko-Tex Standard 100, and WRAP Certified, indicating commitments to ethical production and environmental standards.

While the jacket is breathable, its primary design is for activities like hiking and outdoor work. For high-impact running in wet conditions, a jacket specifically designed for running with higher breathability might be more suitable.

The jacket is made from 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, with a lining of Mesh and Microfleece. The fabric is a Softshell, Woven material with a 340gsm weight.

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary, following product instructions. Check that all zips are fully closed.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

This can be due to high exertion levels causing excessive perspiration. Ensure the jacket is zipped up correctly and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. If the environmental conditions are very humid, the breathability may be limited.
