Product Overview
The DX4 Winter Softshell is a technical masterclass in workwear engineering, specifically designed for those who face the elements daily. This substantial jacket utilizes a sophisticated three-layer RipShell fabric that is not only waterproof and windproof but remains breathable to prevent moisture build-up during physical exertion. By bonding a high-performance TPU membrane with a luxurious borg fleece lining, this garment provides an exceptional thermal barrier without the excessive bulk often associated with winter outerwear. It is a precise piece of equipment for the modern professional who values both form and function.
Key Features
- Ripstop Outer Fabric: The 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane blend ensures the jacket is highly resistant to tears and abrasions, significantly extending the garment's service life in demanding environments.
- Waterproof and Breathable Membrane: With a technical rating of 8,000mm for waterproofing and 3,000g/m²/24hr for breathability, it keeps the wearer dry in heavy rain while allowing internal moisture to escape.
- Internal Borg Fleece: The laminated fleece lining provides superior heat retention, ensuring comfort during prolonged exposure to cold temperatures.
- Dynamic Sleeve Design: Ergonomically shaped sleeves reduce fabric bunching and allow for a full range of motion, which is essential for active tasks.
- Multiple Secure Storage: Engineered with several secure pockets, this jacket offers ample space for essential tools and personal items.
- Reflective Trims: Integrated reflective elements enhance visibility in low-light conditions, providing an extra layer of safety on-site.
Design & Performance
The performance of the DX431 is rooted in its three-layer (3L) construction. The outer shell is a sturdy ripstop material that provides a durable shield against the wind. Directly beneath this, the TPU membrane acts as a sophisticated filter, blocking liquid water from entering while permitting water vapour to pass through from the inside. The innermost layer is a dense borg fleece, which creates a warm microclimate against the body. This combination ensures that the wearer remains warm, dry, and focused. The design also features a longer back length for improved coverage when bending or reaching, and adjustable cuffs to ensure a secure, draught-proof fit.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth, technical surface of the RipShell fabric makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. For a traditional, high-end finish that withstands the rigours of daily wear, we recommend embroidery for corporate logos and staff names. This provides a three-dimensional, professional appearance that reflects the quality of your brand. Alternatively, for large-scale branding or complex graphics, our high-quality printing processes offer vibrant clarity. Every customisation project is handled in-house at our Telford facility by a team that has been perfecting these techniques since 1976.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for site managers, surveyors, and tradespeople who operate in outdoor or unheated environments. Its professional black finish and athletic cut make it appropriate for both client-facing meetings and practical work on-site. It is a reliable choice for any business looking to provide their team with a uniform that provides genuine protection against the British winter.

Practical Advice
The DX4 Winter Softshell is designed with a modern fit that allows for layering over a base layer or a light sweatshirt. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath the jacket, you may wish to consider the generous sizing available, up to 4XL. The adjustable cuffs and drawcord hem allow you to customise the fit to your specific body shape, ensuring maximum thermal efficiency.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and the waterproof integrity of the TPU membrane, we recommend a machine wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C. Using a standard domestic cycle ensures that dirt and oils are removed without damaging the specialised fabric bonds.
Avoid the use of bleach at all costs. Bleach will cause irreversible damage to the polyester fibres and the waterproof membrane, leading to leaks and the eventual degradation of the jacket's structure.
Do not tumble dry this garment. High heat from a dryer can cause the laminated layers to delaminate and may damage any applied print or embroidery. Instead, allow the jacket to air dry naturally to preserve its shape and functionality.
If ironing is required, use a low heat setting with a maximum temperature of 110°C. Excessive heat can melt the synthetic components of the softshell. Finally, do not dry clean this item, as the chemicals used in the process can strip the fabric of its weather-resistant properties.
