Key Features
- Precision-Engineered RipShell Fabric: The outer layer utilizes a ripstop construction that prevents small snags from becoming large tears, ensuring the longevity of your investment.
- Integrated Breathable Membrane: With a high breathability rating, this jacket allows moisture vapour to escape, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during strenuous physical activity.
- Dynamic Shaped Sleeves: These are anatomically designed to follow the natural movement of the arms, reducing fabric bulk and increasing range of motion.
- Multiple Secure Pockets: Strategically placed pockets provide ample storage for essential tools and personal items, keeping them safe and accessible throughout the working day.
- Reflective Prints: Subtle yet effective reflective detailing enhances visibility in low-light conditions without compromising the sleek, black aesthetic.
- Ribbed Hem and Cuffs: These provide a secure fit that traps heat and prevents draughts, essential for maintaining thermal comfort in exposed locations.
Design & Performance
The performance of the EV4 Softshell is rooted in its technical material composition. The primary 'RipShell' fabric consists of a robust polyester and elastane blend, laminated to a microfleece backing. This creates a sturdy, medium-weight barrier that offers substantial weather protection. With a waterproof rating of 8,000mm, it is designed to withstand significant rainfall, while the 3,000g/m²/24hr breathability ensures internal temperature regulation.
Durability is further enhanced through the inclusion of CorePro Armour and Titanmill Ultra Stretch panels. These materials are placed in high-wear areas to provide superior abrasion resistance and flexibility. The result is a garment that feels substantial and protective, yet remains supple enough for active tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The EV4 Softshell Bomber is an excellent canvas for company branding. For a sophisticated and durable finish, we recommend embroidery. This method is ideal for company logos and staff names, providing a textured, premium look that withstands the rigours of daily wear. The sturdy triple-layer fabric provides a stable base for high-density stitching.
Alternatively, for larger promotional designs or bold back prints, heat-applied film printing is a versatile option. Our in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, has decades of experience in ensuring your branding is applied with precision, maintaining the professional integrity of your workforce's uniform.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for supervisors, technicians, and site managers who require a versatile outer layer that transitions seamlessly from a vehicle to an outdoor site. It is particularly effective for those working in temperate but unpredictable climates where wind and light rain are frequent factors. The professional black finish and athletic cut also make it a popular choice for delivery personnel and corporate event staff.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider that the bomber fit is designed to be slightly shorter and sit on the waist. This makes it ideal for wearers who spend a lot of time seated or driving, as the fabric won't bunch up. Because of the substantial triple-layer construction, you may only need a lightweight base layer or polo shirt underneath to remain warm in most UK conditions.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance of the waterproof and breathable membrane, we recommend a domestic wash at a maximum temperature of 40°C using a mild process. High temperatures can damage the lamination between the fabric layers, leading to a loss of weatherproofing.
Bleach should never be used, as it will break down the synthetic fibres and ruin the black finish of the garment. For the same reason, do not dry clean this jacket, as the chemicals used in the process can strip away the protective coatings.
After washing, the jacket should be drip line dried. Do not tumble dry, as the intense heat can cause the fabric to shrink or delaminate. Furthermore, ironing is not required and should be avoided to prevent melting the synthetic outer shell or damaging any custom print and embroidery.
