Product Overview
The Portwest PW3 Hi-Vis Class 1 Softshell is a substantial, well-engineered garment designed for professionals who require a balance of visibility and a smart, corporate appearance. Built with a sophisticated three-layer construction, this jacket provides a reliable barrier against the elements while maintaining a professional silhouette. It is an ideal choice for those who need to remain visible on-site without the bulk of a traditional heavy coat.
Key Features
- Class 1 High-Visibility: Provides essential visibility in the workplace, ensuring you remain seen and safe in environments with lower traffic speeds or less complex hazards.
- Three-Layer Construction: Offers an integrated approach to weather resistance and breathability, keeping you comfortable and dry throughout the working day.
- Substantial Polyester Blend: The heavyweight fabric is chosen for its durability, ensuring the jacket stands up to the rigours of daily professional use without wearing thin.
- Unisex Fit: Designed to provide a comfortable and professional appearance for all team members, regardless of gender.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a robust polyester blend, this softshell feels substantial and sturdy. The heavyweight nature of the fabric ensures it maintains its shape even after long hours on the job, while the 3-layer design works effectively to manage your body temperature. Available in contrast colourways like Black/Orange and Black/Yellow, it allows for a modern look that hides dirt in high-wear areas while ensuring the high-visibility elements remain prominent where they are needed most.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation to help your business stand out. Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance that is ideal for company logos and individual names; it is exceptionally durable and stands up to repeated washing without fading. Alternatively, our printing service is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader range of colours for maximum visual impact. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation from our base in Telford to ensure a superior finish.
Use Cases
This Class 1 softshell is perfectly suited for site managers, surveyors, or delivery drivers who require a professional look with a level of safety visibility. It is particularly effective for those transitioning between outdoor environments and client meetings where a standard high-visibility waistcoat might not be appropriate.

Practical Advice
This softshell is made from a substantial fabric that works well as a standalone outer layer or as part of a layering system. We recommend checking our size guide—ranging from XS to 4XL—to ensure a fit that allows for ease of movement, particularly if you plan to wear a sweatshirt underneath in colder conditions.
Caring for your product
To ensure your jacket continues to provide the necessary visibility and maintains its professional appearance, it is vital to follow the care instructions provided on the internal label. Regular cleaning is necessary, but it must be done correctly to avoid damaging the high-visibility properties.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleaching agents, as these will degrade the polyester fibres and dull the fluorescent finish, eventually compromising the safety rating of the garment. Similarly, following the specific drying instructions will prevent the three-layer fabric from delaminating, ensuring the jacket remains a reliable part of your uniform for a long time.
