Product Overview
The Portwest RWS Hi-Vis Softshell Jacket (3L) is a substantial, heavyweight garment designed for those who require high-level visibility without compromising on comfort or professional appearance. Constructed with a three-layer system, this jacket provides a reliable barrier against the elements while maintaining the breathability and flexibility expected from a modern softshell. It is an essential piece of equipment for those working in environments where being seen is a matter of safety, rather than a choice.
Key Features
- High-Visibility Orange: The vibrant orange finish ensures you remain highly visible in low-light conditions or hazardous environments, providing essential safety for rail and roadside work.
- Three-Layer Construction: This advanced layering system offers enhanced protection from wind and light rain, keeping you comfortable throughout the working day.
- Unisex Fit: Designed to provide a professional silhouette for all team members, ensuring a consistent look across your workforce.
- Polyester Blend Fabric: The choice of material ensures the jacket is both resilient and flexible, standing up to the rigours of daily wear without restricting movement.
Design & Performance
This softshell is crafted from a substantial, heavyweight polyester blend that feels sturdy and well-engineered. Unlike lighter alternatives, the weight of this fabric provides a sense of protection and durability, ensuring it won't fall apart after a few weeks on the job. The softshell material is inherently flexible, allowing for a full range of motion whether you are operating machinery or managing a site. The three-layer (3L) technology is designed to balance weather resistance with internal moisture management, ensuring you don't overheat while working hard.
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, established in 1976, handles all customisation in Telford to ensure a superior finish that reflects your company's professional standards.
Use Cases
Given its high-visibility colour and robust construction, this jacket is ideally suited for professionals in the rail industry, construction, and transport sectors. It is also an excellent choice for site managers and surveyors who need to transition between the office and outdoor environments while maintaining a professional appearance.

Practical Advice
This softshell is designed with a substantial weight, making it an excellent outer layer. For colder winter months, we recommend sizing accordingly to allow for a base layer or sweatshirt underneath. The orange hi-vis fabric is effective, but only if it stays relatively clean—so do try to avoid using it as a rag for your tools.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance of your hi-vis garment is essential for your safety. Regular cleaning ensures that the high-visibility fabric and reflective elements remain unobstructed by dirt, which is quite necessary if you intend to remain visible on-site.
Always follow the specific instructions on the internal care label. Using appropriate cleaning methods prevents the polyester blend from losing its structural integrity and ensures the jacket continues to provide weather protection. Avoiding harsh chemical treatments will help the custom embroidery or print remain vibrant and professional for the life of the garment.
