Product Overview
The Russell Europe Sports shell 5000 jacket is a high-performance technical garment engineered for professionals who maintain a high level of physical activity throughout their working day. Unlike standard outerwear, this medium-weight jacket is designed to create an internal microclimate, providing maximum thermoregulation and moisture management. It is a sophisticated piece of equipment for those who require a balance of weather protection and breathability without the bulk of a heavy coat.
Key Features
High-performance water resistance and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish provide a robust barrier against the elements, ensuring you remain dry in adverse weather.
Advanced breathability allows for excellent moisture transfer, preventing the build-up of perspiration and keeping the wearer comfortable during exertion.
Sealed, laser-cut pockets with matt waterproof zips on the sleeve and chest offer secure and dry storage for sensitive items or essential tools.
An ergonomic body-fit design with articulated elbows ensures the jacket moves with your body, providing a full range of flex and freedom of movement.
The inclusion of an MP3 inner pocket and adjustable cuffs allows for a customisable experience, maintaining your personal microclimate while keeping you connected.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a technical three-layer soft-touch fabric, this jacket features a 100% polyester outer and a knitted polyester liner. This combination provides a resilient exterior with a comfortable interior feel. For those working in demanding environments, the cool-fit underarm panels provide essential ventilation to prevent overheating. The use of high-quality YKK centre zips further reinforces the durability of the garment, ensuring it stands up to the rigours of professional use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, technical surface of the Sports shell 5000 makes it an ideal candidate for customisation. For a superior professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. This method is perfect for company logos or individual names, providing a durable and high-quality finish that maintains its integrity even with frequent use. Alternatively, for larger and more vibrant branding, our printing services offer a sharp and impactful result.

Practical Advice
The ergonomic fit is designed to be streamlined. If you intend to wear this jacket over several layers or a thick sweatshirt, you may find that selecting one size larger than your usual measurement provides a more comfortable fit. The size range is comprehensive, spanning from XS through to 2XL.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the technical fabric and the integrity of your custom branding, we recommend a gentle domestic wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures may degrade the waterproof membrane over time.
It is vital that you do not use fabric softeners. Softeners can coat the technical fibres and clog the breathable pores of the fabric, which will significantly reduce the jacket's ability to manage moisture. For drying, a low-temperature tumble dry is acceptable and can help to maintain the DWR finish, but ensure you do not use high heat which could damage the laser-cut seals and zips.
