Product Overview
The Portwest Softshell (3L) is a sophisticated choice for those who require a balance of protection and flexibility. Designed as a substantial, heavy-duty jacket, it offers a professional appearance without the bulk of a traditional heavy coat. This garment is engineered with a three-layer fabric system that provides a robust barrier against the elements, ensuring you remain comfortable and focused on the task at hand, regardless of the British weather's unpredictability.
Key Features
- Substantial Three-Layer Construction: Provides a resilient outer shell that offers enhanced protection while maintaining a streamlined silhouette.
- Flexible Polyester and Elastane Blend: The inclusion of elastane allows for a degree of stretch, ensuring the jacket moves with you rather than against you during active work.
- Extensive Size Range: Available from XS through to 5XL, ensuring every member of your team can be outfitted in a garment that fits correctly and looks professional.
- Unisex Fit: A versatile design that provides a consistent and unified look for all staff members across the business.
Design & Performance
This jacket is crafted from a high-quality polyester blend that prioritises durability. The substantial weight of the fabric provides a reassuring sense of quality and warmth, making it ideal for transitional seasons or layered use in colder environments. The three-layer technology is specifically designed to handle the rigours of daily wear, resisting the scuffs and scrapes common in active workplaces. Despite its sturdy nature, the fabric remains pliable, allowing for a full range of motion whether you are reaching for tools or driving between sites.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation.
Embroidery delivers a textured, premium appearance that is ideal for company logos and individual names. This method is particularly durable and stands up to repeated washing without fading, maintaining a sharp look for the life of the garment. Alternatively, printing is better suited to large, bold designs and offers a broader colour range for those looking to make a significant visual impact.
Our expert in-house team, based in Telford since 1976, handles all customisation with the precision and care that only decades of experience can provide.
Use Cases
This softshell is the ideal companion for site managers, surveyors, and outdoor technicians who require a smart, professional appearance while remaining protected from the wind. Its clean lines and classic colour options also make it an excellent choice for corporate uniforms or delivery drivers who are frequently in and out of vehicles and need a jacket that won't restrict their movement.

Practical Advice
As this is a unisex garment with a substantial fabric weight, we recommend reviewing our size guide to ensure the best fit, particularly if you plan to wear multiple layers underneath. For those working in particularly cold environments, this jacket performs exceptionally well when paired with a moisture-wicking base layer and a medium-weight fleece.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your softshell is essential to ensure it continues to protect you on the job. Neglecting the specific care requirements can lead to a degradation of the fabric's integrity and a loss of its professional finish.
Always refer to the internal care label for specific instructions. Using incorrect washing temperatures can cause the synthetic fibres to stiffen or shrink, potentially altering the fit of the jacket and the appearance of your custom branding.
We advise avoiding the use of bleach or strong chemical detergents. These can break down the polyester blend and cause the colours to lose their vibrancy, leaving your team looking less than their best.
When it comes to drying, high heat should be avoided. Excessive temperatures in a tumble dryer can damage the elastane fibres that provide the jacket's stretch, leading to a loss of shape and comfort over time.
Ironing should be approached with caution. Direct high heat can melt synthetic materials, so if ironing is necessary, ensure you follow the label's heat settings strictly to avoid permanent damage to the fabric surface.
