Product Information

Full details

The Russell Smart Softshell Gilet Jacket in Grey (XXL) is designed for adults seeking a blend of warmth and exceptional breathability, particularly for indoor workplace environments. Its primary benefit is offering protection against wind and chill without compromising comfort or flexibility. A key consideration is its lack of a waterproof membrane, making it best suited for conditions where heavy rain is not a primary concern. Key features include a two-layer construction with a Teflon® DWR coating, microfleece inner, dual zipped pockets, and MP3 access.

FAQs

What type of material is the gilet made from?

The gilet is made from a 2-layer knitted softshell. The outer layer is 100% polyester, and the inner layer is a comfortable microfleece.

Is this gilet waterproof?

No, this gilet is not fully waterproof. It has a Teflon® DWR coating for protection against light moisture and wind, but it does not have a waterproof membrane.

How should I wash the gilet?

You should wash the gilet at 40°C and tumble dry on a low setting. Crucially, do not use fabric softeners.

What is the weight of the material?

The weight of the material is 315g/m².

Can I use this gilet for outdoor activities in cold weather?

It provides wind resistance and warmth, making it suitable for mild outdoor conditions. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over other insulating garments.

Does it have internal pockets?

The description mentions 'bound inside seams on the zip,' suggesting the zipped pockets are external. There are no explicit mentions of internal pockets.

Are there other colours or sizes available?

Yes, this model is available in various colours and sizes, including ladies' versions. Please check the product listings for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too warm indoors

The high breathability helps, but for very warm indoor environments, consider layering with lighter clothing or removing the gilet. Its design prioritizes breathability over extreme insulation.

Reduced water resistance after washing

Ensure no fabric softener was used during the wash, as this can degrade the Teflon® DWR coating. Consider a re-waterproofing spray suitable for softshell garments if performance significantly diminishes.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
