Design & Performance
Engineered for longevity, this medium-weight softshell is built to withstand the demands of the modern workplace. The 100% polyester fabric is not only durable but also offers a natural resistance to creasing, ensuring you look smart from the start of your shift to the end. The two-layer design is intentionally chosen to provide warmth and wind protection while remaining breathable, preventing the discomfort of overheating during more strenuous activities. The fabric feels substantial and smooth to the touch, providing a superior finish that reflects well on your business.
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 exceptionally durable and stands up to repeated washing without fading, making it a sound investment for long-term workwear. Alternatively, print is better suited to large, bold designs and a broader colour range, providing a sharp and high-impact finish. Our expert in-house team, established in 1976, handles all customisation from our facility in Telford to ensure your branding meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
This softshell is perfectly suited for site managers, supervisors, and delivery drivers who require a professional look that can handle the outdoors. It is equally at home in a warehouse environment or for technicians who need a layer of warmth that won't snag or hinder movement. Because of its clean design, it also serves as excellent staff uniform for events and trade shows.

Practical Advice
The Ascender is designed with a standard fit to allow for comfortable movement. If you frequently work in colder conditions and intend to wear a thick jumper or multiple layers beneath the jacket, you may wish to consider selecting a size larger than your usual measurement. The contrast panels are strategically placed to maintain a modern aesthetic while hiding minor scuffs that occur during the workday.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the performance and appearance of your softshell is straightforward, provided you follow a few essential principles. Correct care ensures the fabric remains resilient and your custom branding stays in peak condition.
We recommend a standard wash to remove dirt and oils that can break down the polyester fibres over time. Using a gentle cycle helps to preserve the integrity of the 2-layer bond and prevents the garment from losing its shape. Avoiding harsh chemicals and bleach is vital, as these can cause the contrast colours to bleed and may degrade the adhesive used in printed designs.
When it comes to drying, air drying is the preferred method. High heat from a tumble dryer can cause the polyester to become brittle and may damage the fine detailing of embroidery or the finish of a print. If ironing is necessary, do so on a low setting and avoid direct contact with any customised areas to prevent damage.
