Product Overview
The Portwest WX2 Eco Hooded Insulated Softshell is a well-engineered garment designed for those who require both warmth and flexibility without compromising on their environmental principles. As part of Portwest's commitment to more sustainable workwear, this jacket balances professional aesthetics with technical performance. The two-layer construction ensures you remain protected from the wind while the internal insulation provides a necessary barrier against the cold, making it a reliable companion for the unpredictable British weather.
Key Features

- Insulated Lining: Traps heat close to the body, ensuring you remain comfortable during long shifts in cold environments.
- Two-Layer Softshell Fabric: Offers a professional finish that is both wind-resistant and flexible enough to allow for a full range of movement.
- Comprehensive Size Range: Available from XS up to 6XL, including specific tall fit options, ensuring every member of your team has a garment that fits correctly.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this medium-weight jacket is built for the rigours of the modern workplace. The softshell outer provides a clean, modern appearance that resists the elements, while the internal insulation remains light enough to prevent the garment from feeling bulky or restrictive. The fabric choice ensures durability, meaning it won't easily snag or wear down after a few weeks on the job. It is a substantial, sturdy jacket that feels reliable from the moment you put it on.
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 your brand is represented with the highest level of care and precision.
Use Cases
This jacket is an excellent choice for site managers, delivery drivers, or any tradesperson working in exposed conditions where a standard fleece might not offer enough protection. Its professional appearance also makes it suitable for customer-facing roles, such as surveyors or engineers, who need to look smart while staying warm on-site.

Practical Advice
Given the insulated nature of this softshell, it works best as an outer layer over a moisture-wicking base or a standard polo shirt. If you are particularly tall, we recommend opting for the 'T' (Tall) sizes to ensure the sleeves and torso provide adequate coverage when reaching or moving. For the best fit, please refer to our sizing guide before ordering.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical performance of your softshell is essential for its longevity and continued weather resistance.
When washing, avoid excessively high temperatures as this can damage the synthetic polyester fibres, leading to a loss of shape and reduced thermal efficiency. A gentle domestic cycle is recommended to preserve the integrity of the garment.
We strongly advise against the use of bleach. These harsh chemicals will strip the colour from the fabric and weaken the structural integrity of the material, potentially causing premature wear and ruining the professional finish of your uniform.
Air drying is far preferable to machine drying for this softshell. High heat from a tumble dryer can compromise the technical properties of the outer fabric and the insulation, reducing the jacket's ability to protect you from the wind and cold.
Ironing should be avoided where possible. If it is necessary to remove creases, use a very low heat setting, as high temperatures can melt the polyester surface and permanently damage the garment.
