Product Overview
The Portwest WX2 Eco Softshell (2L) represents a thoughtful approach to modern workwear, combining professional aesthetics with a commitment to more sustainable manufacturing. This two-layer jacket is designed for those who require a reliable outer layer that can withstand the rigours of a busy working day without appearing overly industrial. It offers a clean, contemporary silhouette that works as well for a site visit as it does for a client meeting.
Key Features
- Broad Size Range: Available from Extra Small up to 6XL, including specific 'Tall' variants, ensuring that every member of your team can be provided with a garment that fits correctly and looks professional.
- Unisex Design: The versatile cut is suitable for all staff members, which simplifies the process of outfitting a diverse workforce and maintains a consistent company image.
- Eco-Conscious Choice: As part of the WX2 range, this jacket is engineered for those looking to make more responsible procurement choices without sacrificing performance or durability.
- Professional Colour Palette: Available in seven distinct colours, from a traditional Navy to a crisp White—the latter of which we suggest is perhaps best suited to those whose work doesn't involve frequent contact with wet cement.
Design & Performance
This jacket is constructed from a medium-weight 100% polyester fabric, offering a balanced feel that provides protection without unnecessary bulk. The two-layer softshell technology is designed to act as a resilient barrier against the wind while remaining breathable enough for active use. The fabric is sturdy enough to resist the standard scuffs of a workplace environment, ensuring the garment doesn't look 'tired' after just a few weeks on the job. The inclusion of tall sizing options is a particularly practical touch, providing the necessary extra length in the sleeves and torso for taller individuals who often find standard garments lacking.
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. It is a highly durable option, standing up to repeated washing cycles without fading or losing its crisp finish. Alternatively, our printing service is better suited to larger, bold designs that require a broad range of colours to stand out. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting this craft since we were established in 1976.
Use Cases
This softshell is an excellent choice for business owners, project managers, and tradespeople who require a smart, unified appearance. It is particularly effective for those working in transport, light industry, or for service engineers who are frequently moving between a vehicle and a customer's premises. Its clean design also makes it a staple for corporate events where a professional but approachable look is required.

Practical Advice
The medium-weight nature of this softshell makes it an ideal layering piece. For a complete uniform, we recommend pairing it with one of our durable polo shirts or sweatshirts. If you are between sizes, or intend to wear thicker layers beneath, you may wish to consider the next size up for a more comfortable fit throughout the shoulders.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of the softshell fabric and the vibrancy of your branding, we recommend following the specific instructions found on the internal care label of the garment.
When washing, avoiding the use of bleach is essential, as harsh chemicals will degrade the polyester fibres and lead to premature fading. Similarly, washing at moderate temperatures helps the garment retain its shape and ensures that any custom embroidery or print remains securely bonded to the fabric.
We advise against high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the synthetic fibres and potentially warp the customisation. Air drying is the preferred method to keep the jacket looking its best. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and avoid direct contact with any printed areas to prevent damage to the design.
