Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Ablaze softshell is a medium-weight jacket specifically engineered for those who require both dependable weather protection and a high-quality surface for corporate branding. Unlike many standard softshells, this garment is crafted with a smooth finish that makes it an ideal choice for various customisation methods. It features a warm-backed woven lining to help maintain core body temperature during outdoor shifts, while the wind-resistant membrane and durable water-repellent finish provide a reliable barrier against the unpredictable British elements.
Key Features
Warm-backed woven softshell: This interior finish provides essential insulation by trapping body heat, ensuring you stay warm without the bulk of a heavy coat.
Printable softshell fabric: Specially designed for customisation, the outer fabric allows for high-definition branding that remains clear and durable over time.
Wind-resistant membrane fabric: This technical layer prevents cold air from penetrating the garment, which is vital for comfort when working in exposed or windy locations.
Durable water-repellent finish: Moisture beads on the surface of the jacket, providing a layer of protection against light rain and drizzle.
Adjustable shockcord hem: Allows the wearer to pull the jacket tight against the body, sealing in warmth and preventing draughts from entering from below.
Inner zip guard: Enhances comfort by preventing the zip from catching and provides an additional barrier against the wind behind the main fastening.
Design & Performance
Manufactured from 100% polyester, the Ablaze softshell is built for the rigours of daily work. It is a medium-weight garment, offering a substantial feel that provides protection while allowing for a full range of movement. The fabric choice ensures that the jacket is both durable and easy to maintain. The technical membrane is the core of its performance, offering a sophisticated balance of weather resistance and breathability. With two lower pockets for secure storage and a tear-out tag for added comfort, every detail has been considered to support the professional user.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This garment is a versatile choice for any business. As a designated printable softshell, it is particularly well-suited for screen, transfer, and vinyl printing, allowing for large and vibrant designs on the back or chest. For a more traditional and professional appearance, embroidery is an excellent option for company logos and individual names. All customisation is carried out in-house at our Telford facility, where we have been perfecting the art of workwear branding since 1976.
Use Cases
This jacket is a practical choice for site supervisors, logistics personnel, and outdoor event staff. Its smart, clean lines also make it suitable for trade professionals who need a professional appearance when visiting clients, providing a unified look for any workforce.

Practical Advice
Available in a size range from Small to 3XL, the Ablaze softshell is designed to fit a variety of body types. Because it is a medium-weight layer, it is highly effective when worn over a polo shirt during milder months or as a middle layer under a heavier waterproof jacket when conditions become more severe. If you intend to wear heavy layers beneath the jacket, we recommend reviewing the sizing guide to ensure a comfortable fit.
Caring for your product
To preserve the technical properties of the softshell and ensure your branding remains in top condition, we recommend a cool machine wash using pure soap flakes. Standard biological detergents can often degrade the water-repellent finish over time.
Do not use bleach, as this will weaken the polyester fibres and cause permanent discolouration to the fabric and any custom designs.
It is important that you do not tumble dry or iron this jacket. High temperatures can melt the internal wind-resistant membrane and cause printed logos to peel or distort. Always allow the garment to air dry naturally.
Wash dark colours separately to avoid any colour migration and ensure all fasteners are closed prior to washing to prevent snagging. Do not store the jacket while it is damp, as this can lead to mildew and the degradation of the fabrics integrity.
