FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Russell Soft Shell Jacket is designed for moderate to cool weather and offers wind and water resistance. For extreme cold, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener, bleach, and powders.

How do I maintain the water-resistant properties?

After washing, it's recommended to re-apply a water-repellent finish using a spray or wash-in product designed for technical softshell fabrics to ensure optimal performance.

What does the 'Triple Layer' fabric mean?

The triple-layer fabric consists of an outer woven shell, an insulating bonded microfleece lining, and the performance softshell material in between. This construction provides breathability, water resistance, and a degree of warmth.

What is the waterproof rating?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm, indicating it can withstand moderate water pressure and is suitable for showerproof conditions.

Are there options for customization or branding?

The product information indicates the jacket is suitable for embroidery, suggesting it can be customized with logos or branding.

What certifications does this jacket hold?

The jacket adheres to several sustainability and ethical standards, including Amfori, Better Cotton Initiative, BSCI, Fair Labor Association, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified, and WRAP Certified.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses water repellency.

Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment designed for technical fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the inner storm flap is not caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

Check that all vents are open and that the inner garment is not excessively insulating. Ensure the fabric's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue; wash as per instructions.

Seams are leaking or showing wear.

This jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, consider a dedicated waterproof jacket. Minor seam wear can sometimes be addressed with seam sealant, but significant damage may require professional repair or replacement.
