Russell Essential Recycled Soft Shell Jacket combines sustainable materials with practical weather protection. Constructed from 94% recycled polyester with 6% elastane, this jacket reduces environmental impact whilst delivering durability and flexibility. The recycled content supports circular economy principles without compromising performance or quality, making this jacket ideal for environmentally conscious professionals. The outer layer bonds with a micro fleece inner layer, creating a hybrid construction that provides insulation, breathability, and comfort. The micro fleece traps warm air whilst allowing moisture vapour to escape, preventing clammy discomfort during active movement or extended wear. This layered approach delivers warmth without excessive bulk, making the jacket suitable for layering or standalone wear across transitional seasons. The plant-based fluorine and PFC (perfluorinated compound) showerproof finish protects against light precipitation and moisture without relying on harmful chemical treatments. This environmentally responsible coating sheds water effectively whilst maintaining fabric breathability. The showerproof treatment maintains performance through repeated washing and wearing, ensuring long-term weather protection. The cadet collar offers contemporary styling and practical functionality, framing the neckline professionally. The full-length front zip with chin guard and inner zip guard prevents cold air infiltration and protects skin from direct contact with the zip slider. Two front zip pockets provide convenient storage for essentials and hand warmth during cooler conditions. Open cuffs and hem offer versatile fit customisation and layering flexibility. The elastane content provides exceptional freedom of movement, making this jacket suitable for active work environments and dynamic professional contexts. Durable construction and sustainable materials ensure this jacket maintains performance and appearance through extended wear and seasonal rotation. A responsible outerwear investment that delivers contemporary style, practical weather protection, and environmental consciousness.
