Russell Athletic 3 Layer Soft Shell Jacket - Silver - XL

A 3-layer membrane construction typically refers to a fabric where the waterproof/breathable membrane is laminated between the outer fabric and the inner lining, offering durability and protection.

This jacket is designed to protect against wind and water. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating items like fleece or down jackets underneath.

Water should bead up and roll off the fabric. If water starts to soak into the fabric, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may need to be reapplied.

Yes, the jacket is breathable and windproof, making it suitable for running and other high-energy activities where you need protection from the elements while managing body heat.

These certifications indicate that the product's manufacturing process adheres to ethical labor practices, social responsibility, and fair working conditions throughout the supply chain.

A 5000mm waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before it begins to leak. This is generally considered good for moderate rain and wet conditions.

This may indicate that the fabric's breathability is being overwhelmed by high exertion, or that the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs refreshing. Ensure the garment is clean and consider re-applying a DWR treatment if performance has degraded.

The 5000mm rating is suitable for moderate conditions. For prolonged heavy rain, this jacket might not provide complete waterproofing. Ensure all zips are fully closed and consider a more heavy-duty waterproof garment for extreme weather.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to help them glide smoothly.
