Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Reid softshell is a refined choice for professionals who require a jacket that balances a smart aesthetic with practical outdoor performance. Engineered for those on the move, this garment offers a compact silhouette without sacrificing protection against the elements. Its wind-resistant properties and water-repellent finish make it a dependable outer layer for the unpredictable British climate, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable without the bulk of a traditional heavy coat.
Key Features
- Warm-backed stretch softshell fabric: This construction provides a layer of insulation against the cold while the integrated stretch ensures you maintain a full range of movement throughout the working day.
- Secure zipped lower pockets: Two strategically placed pockets offer safe storage for essential tools or personal items, featuring zip closures to prevent loss during physical activity.
- Adjustable shockcord hem: This feature allows the wearer to customise the fit at the waist, effectively sealing in body heat and preventing cold draughts from entering.
- Quick-drying and easy to wear: The technical fabric is designed to shed moisture rapidly, making it ideal for professionals who frequently transition between indoor and outdoor environments.
Design & Performance
The Reid softshell is constructed from a medium-weight, warm-backed woven fabric that feels substantial yet remains manageable for all-day wear. The exterior is treated with a durable water-repellent finish, causing light rain to bead off the surface rather than saturating the material. Internally, the super-soft handle provides immediate comfort against the skin or when layered over a polo shirt or sweatshirt.
Durability is at the forefront of this design; the woven stretch fabric is resilient against the daily scuffs and abrasions common in active work environments. The wind-resistant weave is particularly effective at blocking out chilling gusts, making it a well-engineered garment for site visits, deliveries, or outdoor events where a professional appearance must be maintained regardless of the weather.
Customisation: Embroidery
This softshell is specifically suited for high-quality embroidery, which is the recommended method for branding this garment. Given the textured and resilient nature of the woven fabric, embroidery provides a professional and permanent finish that withstands the rigours of frequent laundering and daily wear. Whether you require a corporate logo on the chest or individual names, embroidery ensures a crisp, three-dimensional appearance that reflects the quality of your business.
Our in-house team in Telford has been handling garment customisation since 1976, ensuring that every stitch meets our rigorous standards. Please note that due to the technical finish and fabric composition of this softshell, it is not suitable for print applications, making embroidery the definitive choice for a superior finish.
Use Cases
This garment is an excellent choice for supervisors, delivery drivers, and tradespeople who need to look professional while remaining protected from the wind and light rain. It is equally at home in a corporate setting as it is on a construction site, providing a versatile solution for uniform requirements across various sectors.

Practical Advice
The Reid softshell is available in a broad size range from XS to 3XL, catering to a wide variety of body types. As a medium-weight layer, it is designed to fit comfortably over a base layer or light jumper. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear underneath, you may wish to consider the measurements provided in our size guide to ensure a comfortable fit that does not restrict movement.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical performance and professional appearance of your softshell, we recommend a delicate wash. Using a gentle cycle helps preserve the integrity of the water-repellent finish and the internal fleece backing, ensuring the jacket remains effective for longer.
Do not use bleach, as these harsh chemicals will degrade the synthetic fibres and can cause significant damage to the fabric's structure and any custom embroidery. Similarly, this garment should not be tumble dried or ironed; exposure to high heat can melt the technical fibres and lead to permanent deformation or loss of wind resistance.
We advise against dry cleaning as the solvents used can strip the protective water-repellent coatings. Always ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing it, as storing technical garments while damp can lead to the development of mildew and unpleasant odours. For the best results, wash dark colours separately and ensure all fasteners are closed before the wash cycle begins.
