Russell Athletic Softshell Gilet (J141M) | Embroidered Softshell Gilets
Product Description
The Softshell Gilet (J141M) has set new standards for body warmers — highly water-resistant and windproof, it delivers genuine style and warmth alongside real freedom of movement.
Made from 92% polyester and 8% elastane in a 3-layer softshell construction (340gsm), it's water-resistant to 5000mm, with a breathable membrane, bonded microfleece lining, side and chest pockets, a full zip with inner storm flap, and a zip neck protector at the collar. Stocked in 3 colours from XS to 2XL.
What Sets the J141M Apart
Genuinely Rated Water Resistance
A 5000mm water-resistant rating gives real protection from the elements, not just a light shower-resistant treatment.
Bonded Microfleece Lining
A bonded microfleece lining adds genuine warmth without bulk, while the breathable membrane helps prevent that clammy feeling.
Practical, Secure Storage
Side pockets and a chest pocket, all with inner lining, reversed zips and cord pulls, give genuinely secure storage for essentials.
Large Left Chest Decoration Access
Generous left chest side decoration access makes this a practical choice for embroidered branding.
Ideal For
- Outdoor trade and site teams
- Corporate and hospitality gilets
- Layering under or over other workwear
- Year-round branded outerwear
