Result Baselayer softshell jacket

Product Overview

The Result Baselayer softshell jacket is a masterclass in functional layering, designed for those who require weather protection without the restrictive weight of a traditional coat. This jacket is constructed from a high-quality 2-layer bonded fabric that balances flexibility with durability. It is engineered to provide a shapely, athletic fit that moves with the wearer, making it an ideal choice for active environments where range of movement is paramount. The lightweight nature of the garment ensures it can be worn comfortably over a t-shirt or tucked under a heavier jacket as part of a comprehensive layering system.

Key Features

• High-Stretch Bonded Fabric: The outer layer contains a blend of polyester and elastane, providing a significant degree of stretch that allows for unhindered movement during physical activity.
• Weather-Resistant Performance: This jacket is both breathable and showerproof, offering protection against light rain and wind while ensuring internal moisture can escape to keep you comfortable.
• Inner Storm Flap: The main zip features an integrated inner storm flap, which acts as a barrier against wind penetration, keeping the chill away from your core.
• Adjustable Comfort: Easy-tear adjustable cuffs allow the wearer to secure the sleeves against the elements or loosen them for better ventilation as the workload increases.
• Functional Storage: Two zip-closing side pockets provide secure housing for essential tools or personal items, ensuring they remain protected while you are on the move.

Design & Performance

The performance of the R128X lies in its sophisticated 2-layer construction. The outer layer, a blend of 93% polyester and 7% elastane, provides the necessary elasticity for a 'sport comfort' fit, while the 100% polyester inner layer offers a smooth, comfortable surface against the skin. This bonding process creates a garment that is exceptionally lightweight yet surprisingly robust against the wind. The addition of a water-repellent finish ensures that moisture beads off the surface, keeping the wearer dry during brief showers without the bulk of a heavy waterproof membrane.

Why No Customisation?

This specific baselayer softshell is supplied without customisation to preserve the technical integrity of its 2-layer bonded construction. Embroidery or heat-transfer processes can potentially compromise the showerproof membrane and the water-repellent finish. By providing this garment as-is, we ensure that the fabric’s weather-resistant properties remain entirely intact, providing you with the full performance promised by the manufacturer.

Use Cases

This jacket is perfectly suited for professionals working in fast-paced outdoor roles, such as logistics, light construction, or site management. Its athletic fit also makes it a sensible choice for weekend outdoor pursuits or travel where space and weight are at a premium. It is the garment of choice for those who find standard jackets too cumbersome but require more protection than a simple fleece can provide.

Practical Advice

As this is a 'sport comfort fit' garment, it is designed to be worn close to the body. If you intend to wear multiple thick layers beneath it, you may wish to consider moving up one size. For those using it as a true baselayer or over a simple polo shirt, the standard size range from XS to 3XL provides a reliable fit. Remember that the stretch fabric will accommodate movement, so a snug fit is often preferable to maintain thermal efficiency.

Caring for your product

To maintain the technical performance and the aesthetic appeal of your softshell jacket, proper maintenance is vital. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Using higher temperatures may cause the bonded layers to delaminate over time, reducing the garment's lifespan.

It is essential that you do not use bleach, as this will degrade the elastane fibres and compromise the fabric's stretch and colour. Similarly, do not iron this jacket; the heat from a domestic iron can melt the synthetic fibres and damage the bonded construction. Finally, avoid dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved can strip away the water-repellent finish that provides your protection in the rain.
