It stands out by balancing high-performance windproofing and water resistance with a stylish block colour design and practical features like adjustable cuffs.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, this jacket is highly water-resistant and windproof, designed to protect against light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is constructed from durable polyester, chosen for its wind-blocking capabilities and soft feel.

Does it have an adjustable hood?

The product features mentioned do not include a hood; it focuses on neck protection and cuff adjustments for wind resistance.

Can I iron this jacket?

It is generally not recommended to iron the jacket, as high heat can damage the synthetic polyester fibres and the water-resistant coating.

How should I choose the right size?

The jacket is designed for adult men; consult standard size charts and consider the fit of the clothing you intend to wear underneath.

Is the fabric breathable?

Yes, as a softshell jacket, it offers a balance between weather protection and breathability, making it suitable for active use.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The water-resistant coating may have worn off. Apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment specifically designed for polyester softshell garments.

Zipper feels stiff or sticks

Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zipper is clean and still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a graphite pencil lead along the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Russell Softshell Jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-resistant treatment on the fabric.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, use a very low heat setting to avoid melting the polyester fibres or damaging the zippers.
  4. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a tight bag for long periods to prevent creasing and maintain its shape.
