Product Overview
The Portwest WX3 Softshell (3L) is a high-specification jacket designed for professionals who require a balance of weather protection and functional flexibility. As part of the contemporary WX3 range, this garment offers a modern silhouette without sacrificing the ruggedness needed for a demanding working environment. It is a substantial piece of equipment, engineered to provide a barrier against the elements while maintaining a professional appearance that reflects well on your business.
Key Features
- Three-Layer Technical Fabric: This construction provides an effective windproof and water-resistant barrier, ensuring you remain warm and dry when the British weather decides to be uncooperative.
- Polyester and Elastane Blend: The inclusion of elastane provides essential stretch, allowing the jacket to move with you rather than against you during physical tasks.
- Extensive Size Range: Available from Small to 5XL, this jacket ensures that every member of your team can be accommodated with a consistent and well-fitting uniform.
- Unisex Design: A versatile cut that provides a professional fit for all members of your workforce.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a substantial, heavyweight fabric, this jacket feels reassuringly sturdy from the moment you put it on. The three-layer (3L) technology is specifically engineered to offer superior protection against wind and rain while maintaining breathability. This is vital for preventing the build-up of moisture inside the garment when you are active on-site. The polyester blend is chosen for its resilience, meaning the fabric will not easily snag or wear thin, even with the daily rigours of trade work.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This item is available with both print and embroidery customisation.
Embroidery is a preferred choice for corporate logos and individual names, as it delivers a textured, premium appearance that is exceptionally durable. It stands up to repeated washing without fading, ensuring your branding remains sharp for the life of the garment. Printing is better suited to larger, bold designs or instances where a broader range of vibrant colours is required. Our in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation at our facility in Telford to ensure a superior finish.
Use Cases
The WX3 Softshell is an excellent choice for site managers, surveyors, and tradespeople who require a jacket that is smart enough for client consultations but hardy enough for the site. It is particularly effective for outdoor work during transitional seasons where a heavy coat might be too cumbersome, but protection from the wind is still required.

Practical Advice
To maximise the effectiveness of the 3-layer system, we recommend wearing this softshell over a moisture-wicking base layer. Because this is a substantial, heavyweight garment, you may find you need fewer layers underneath than you would with a standard jacket. When selecting your size, consider the layers you typically wear to ensure a comfortable range of motion.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and professional appearance of your softshell, it is essential to follow the care instructions provided on the internal label. Proper maintenance ensures that the technical membrane remains effective and the fabric continues to repel water as intended.
Using the correct washing procedures prevents the breakdown of the polyester and elastane fibres, which is vital for keeping the jacket's shape and stretch. Neglecting these instructions can lead to a loss of breathability and may eventually compromise the integrity of any custom embroidery or print applied to the garment.
