Product Information

Full details

The Russell Water Resistant & Windproof Softshell Jacket is an essential outerwear choice for men who prioritize weather protection and comfort during outdoor activities. Featuring a durable 3-layer construction with a bonded microfleece lining, this jacket effectively blocks wind and sheds water while maintaining breathability. While it provides excellent defense against the elements, potential users should note that as a softshell, it is best suited for moderate conditions rather than extreme, prolonged torrential downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is highly water-resistant and windproof, making it excellent for light rain and wind, but it is not categorized as 100% waterproof for extreme weather conditions.

What is the best way to wash the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40 degrees Celsius. Close all zippers before washing and avoid fabric softeners.

Does it have a hood?

No, this specific model features a high collar design with a zip neck protector but does not include a hood.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

Yes, the bonded microfleece lining provides good insulation, making it suitable for moderate to cool weather, especially when paired with appropriate layering.

Is the jacket breathable?

Yes, it features a breathable membrane within the 3-layer construction that helps moisture vapor escape during active use.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric

The water-repellent finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and consider applying a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.

Zips feel stiff or difficult to close

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zip remains difficult, apply a small amount of dry lubricant specifically for garment zippers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent windproofing and water resistance for varied outdoor weather
  • Soft microfleece lining offers superior warmth and comfort
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during physical activity
  • Thoughtful design details like the inner storm flap and zip neck protector

Cons

  • Not a fully waterproof shell for heavy or sustained storms
  • Limited to adult male sizing and fit
  • Requires proper care to maintain the water-resistant coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Russell softshell jacket maintains its performance, proper care is essential. The garment is fully launderable at 40 degrees Celsius. Always close all zips before washing to prevent snagging. To preserve the water-resistant properties of the fabric, avoid using harsh fabric softeners or bleaching agents. Hang the jacket to air dry rather than using high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the bonded membrane over time. The adjustable bungee cord hem and cuff fasteners allow you to layer a base layer or light sweater underneath depending on the temperature, making it a reliable piece for transitional seasons.
