Product Overview
The Portwest DX4 Hooded Softshell (3L) is a sophisticated outer layer designed for professionals who require a balance of flexibility and weather protection. As part of the contemporary DX4 collection, this jacket is engineered with a three-layer construction that provides a robust barrier against the elements while maintaining a clean, professional silhouette. Whether you are managing a site or moving between meetings, this softshell offers the functionality of technical workwear without the bulk of a traditional heavy coat.
Key Features
- Integrated Hood: Provides essential protection against sudden wind and rain, ensuring you remain focused on the task at hand rather than the weather.
- Three-Layer Fabric: The 3L construction offers enhanced windproofing and water resistance, keeping you dry and warm in unpredictable conditions.
- Polyester and Elastane Blend: The inclusion of elastane provides a necessary degree of stretch, allowing for a full range of movement without the fabric pinching or pulling.
- Unisex Fit: Designed to provide a comfortable and flattering fit for all team members, simplifying the process of outfitting a diverse workforce.
Design & Performance
This jacket is constructed from a substantial, heavyweight fabric that feels sturdy to the touch and provides excellent insulation. The polyester blend is chosen for its resilience and ability to withstand the rigours of daily wear, ensuring the garment retains its shape over time. Performance is at the heart of the DX4 range; the fabric is engineered to be breathable yet protective, making it a reliable choice for active workdays where temperature regulation is vital.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation. Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance — ideal for logos and names — and stands up to repeated washing without fading. Print is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader colour range. Our in-house team, which has been established since 1976, handles all customisation at our facility in Telford to ensure a superior finish.
Use Cases
This softshell is an excellent choice for site managers, engineers, and delivery professionals who require a smart appearance while working outdoors. It is equally suited for corporate branding, providing a cohesive look for teams working in trades, logistics, or transport. Given its versatile design, it can be worn as a standalone jacket in transitional weather or as a heavy mid-layer in colder conditions.

Practical Advice
Available in a wide range of sizes from XS to XXXL, this jacket is designed with a standard fit that allows for layering over a sweatshirt or polo shirt. For those working in particularly cold environments, we recommend pairing this with a moisture-wicking base layer to maximise the thermal efficiency of the three-layer softshell fabric.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance nature of this softshell and ensure it continues to protect you from the weather, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions located on the internal label. Proper maintenance prevents the technical membrane from breaking down and ensures the fabric's water-resistant properties remain intact.
When washing, avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the fabric and significantly reduce breathability. Following the recommended temperature settings will prevent the polyester fibres from shrinking and ensure that any custom embroidery or print remains vibrant and securely attached for the life of the garment.
