Product Overview
The Portwest ES1 Essential Hi-Vis Softshell Jacket (2L) is a professional solution for those requiring visibility and protection from the elements without the restrictive bulk of a heavy coat. This two-layer garment is engineered to offer a sleek, professional appearance while ensuring you remain conspicuous in high-traffic or low-light environments. Available in a wide size range from XS to 6XL, it provides a consistent uniform solution for entire teams.
Key Features
- Two-Layer Softshell Fabric: This construction provides a balance of wind resistance and breathability, keeping you comfortable during physical tasks.
- High-Visibility Certification: Available in fluorescent yellow or orange, ensuring you meet safety requirements and remain visible to colleagues and motorists.
- Unisex Design: A versatile cut that ensures a professional fit for all members of your workforce.
- Polyester Blend Construction: The fabric choice ensures the jacket is resilient enough to withstand the daily rigours of a busy workplace while retaining its shape.
Design & Performance
This jacket is crafted from a medium-weight polyester blend, providing a substantial feel that offers protection without compromising on mobility. The two-layer design is specifically chosen for its versatility; the outer layer provides a barrier against the wind, while the interior is designed to be comfortable against the skin or over base layers. The fabric's durability ensures it won't easily snag or wear thin, making it a reliable choice for long-term use.
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, making it a long-lasting choice for corporate branding.
Alternatively, print is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader colour range, ensuring your logo is visible from a distance. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation at our facility in Telford to ensure the highest standards of quality.
Use Cases
The ES1 Softshell is ideally suited for site managers, surveyors, and logistics professionals who need to maintain a professional appearance while adhering to safety protocols. It is equally effective for roadside workers or warehouse staff who require a versatile outer layer that can handle shifting temperatures throughout the day.

Practical Advice
As a softshell jacket, this garment is designed for versatility. For colder environments, we recommend layering it over a sweatshirt or fleece. Given the extensive size range reaching up to 6XL, we suggest ensuring your chosen size allows for comfortable movement, particularly if you intend to wear thicker garments underneath.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and technical performance of this jacket, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided on the internal label. Proper care ensures the reflective elements and the fabric's integrity remain effective over time.
Avoiding harsh chemicals and adhering to the recommended washing guidelines will prevent the fluorescent dyes from fading prematurely, ensuring your garment continues to meet safety standards for as long as possible.
