FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cool cycle. Avoid fabric softeners to protect the water-resistant membrane.

Will this jacket keep me dry in heavy rain?

The jacket is highly water-resistant, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket. It will handle light rain and wind effectively but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

Is the hood included?

This specific model includes a neck protector for weather shielding but does not feature a traditional hood.

Can I wear this in winter?

It is well-suited for mild winter days or as a layering piece under a heavier coat in colder temperatures due to the bonded microfleece lining.

What material is it made from?

The jacket is constructed from high-quality polyester, designed to be windproof and breathable.

Is the jacket breathable?

Yes, it features a breathable membrane that allows moisture vapor to escape, helping you stay comfortable during physical exertion.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the fabric rather than beading off.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray recommended for softshell garments.

Zipper feels stiff or catches.

Clean any debris or grit from the zipper teeth using a soft brush. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Russell Softshell Jacket retains its performance properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash at a cool temperature, typically 30-40 degrees Celsius. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents as these can degrade the water-resistant finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting to prevent damage to the bonded layers and the zipper hardware.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape and prevent permanent creasing of the softshell material.
  4. Compatibility: This jacket is designed for standard layering. It fits well over base layers or light sweaters, though very thick bulk items underneath may restrict movement due to the tailored softshell fit.
