Velilla 206005 soft shell jacket: three layers in a single garment
A soft shell is not just any jacket: it's a laminate. Here there are three bonded layers —a stretch outer of 94% polyester and 6% elastane at 280 g/m², a TPU middle membrane and a 130 g/m² fleece lining— that provide wind protection, water repellency and warmth without the bulk of a down jacket. Raglan sleeves, darts at the elbow and three zipped pockets.
✅ Features
TPU middle membrane: this is the layer that blocks the wind and holds back water while letting vapour out; without it, a soft shell is just a thick fleece.
Outer with 6% elastane: the jacket stretches; it doesn't pull when you raise your arms.
130 g/m² fleece lining: keeps you warm inside without the need for a second garment.
Raglan sleeves with decorative seam at mid-sleeve: the raglan cut gives the shoulder a greater range of movement.
Elbow darts: let you bend your arm without the sleeve riding up.
Contrast-colour reverse central zip, with an inner placket at the top so it doesn't rub your chin.
Five pockets: three outer zipped welt pockets and two inside patch pockets.
Adjustable Velcro cuffs.
👷 Suitable for
Installers and outdoor technical service.
Logistics, delivery and warehouses with open docks.
Sales reps and field staff.
Facilities maintenance.
Corporate uniforms for the mid-season and mild winters.

🧺 Care
Machine wash at a low temperature, with the zips closed.
No fabric softener: it clogs the membrane and the garment stops breathing and repelling water.
Do not bleach or dry clean.
Air dry; never iron directly on the fabric.
💡 Tip: water-repellent is not waterproof. A soft shell withstands drizzle and splashes, but in sustained rain it eventually soaks through: it does not declare EN 343 and does not replace rainwear. If the job involves hours in the rain, this jacket goes under the waterproof, not instead of it.
Frequently Asked Questions

Does it have a lining?
Yes, a 130 g/m2 fleece lining built into the laminate.
How many pockets does it have?
Five: three outer zipped pockets and two inside.
