Product Overview
The Portwest Bobble Hat is an essential accessory for any workforce operating in colder climates. Engineered with a focus on both thermal efficiency and wearer comfort, this fine-knit acrylic beanie provides a reliable barrier against the elements. Its windproof construction ensures that heat is retained, while the soft knit fabric offers a pleasant feel for extended wear throughout the working day. The aesthetic is defined by a classic stripe design and a colourful pom pom, providing a professional yet approachable appearance for outdoor staff.

Design & Performance
The performance of this bobble hat is rooted in its choice of materials and construction method. By utilising a 100% acrylic knit, Portwest has created a garment that is both lightweight and highly effective at trapping warm air. Unlike heavier, coarser materials, this fine knit manages to be windproof without adding unnecessary bulk to the wearer's uniform. The fabric is durable enough to withstand the rigours of a manual work environment while maintaining its shape and elasticity over time, ensuring a secure fit for various head sizes.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To enhance your corporate identity, the Portwest Bobble Hat is suitable for both print and embroidery. Embroidery is particularly recommended for this knit fabric, as it creates a high-quality, professional finish for company logos or staff names that will stand up to repeated wear and washing. For those seeking larger, high-impact branding, print options are also available. Every customisation project is handled by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience since our founding in 1976 to ensure your brand is represented perfectly.
Use Cases
This headwear is ideal for a wide range of sectors, particularly those involving outdoor manual labour such as construction, landscaping, and logistics. It is also an excellent choice for supervisors and site managers who require warmth during site inspections, or for delivery personnel who are frequently exposed to the cold between transit and drop-offs.

Practical Advice
This hat is designed as a one-size-fits-most accessory. For those working in variable conditions, we recommend pairing this bobble hat with moisture-wicking base layers and a high-quality thermal jacket to create a comprehensive cold-weather protection system. The fine knit allows it to be worn comfortably under most safety hoods if required.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and thermal properties of your bobble hat, it is important to follow the recommended care instructions carefully. Proper maintenance ensures that the acrylic fibres do not break down prematurely and that any custom branding remains sharp.
We recommend a maximum wash temperature of 30°C using a mild process. Washing at higher temperatures can cause the acrylic knit to lose its shape or suffer from pilling, which compromises the professional appearance of the garment.
Do not use bleach on this item, as harsh chemicals will damage the fibres and cause significant fading to the metal grey colour and any custom embroidery. Similarly, you should not tumble dry this hat; instead, line dry it to preserve the elasticity and fit. Tumble drying can lead to shrinkage and distort the pom pom and stripe design.
Finally, this product must not be ironed or dry cleaned. The heat from an iron can melt the synthetic acrylic fibres, leading to permanent damage to the texture and windproof capabilities of the knit.
