Product Overview
The Skimmer Softshell in Black is a foundational piece of workwear designed to bridge the gap between a casual fleece and a heavy outer jacket. It offers a streamlined, professional silhouette that is well-suited for a variety of roles, from site management to logistics. This medium-weight garment is engineered to provide protection against the elements while maintaining a high level of mobility, making it an essential component of a modern corporate uniform.
Key Features
- Weather-resistant outer fabric provides a barrier against wind and light rain, ensuring you remain comfortable during outdoor transitions.
- The breathable material construction allows for effective moisture management, preventing heat buildup during more strenuous activity.
- A full-length zip allows for easy layering and quick temperature adjustments as the working day evolves.
- The classic black colourway provides a versatile background that complements any corporate branding or colour scheme.
Design & Performance
The design of the Skimmer Softshell focuses on balancing aesthetic appeal with practical performance. The fabric has been selected for its resilient nature, capable of withstanding the daily friction and movement associated with active trades. It possesses a smooth finish that is resistant to pilling, ensuring the garment looks professional even after prolonged use. The fit is structured yet flexible, providing enough room for movement without appearing baggy or unkempt.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This softshell is an excellent canvas for customisation. For a premium, long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery for company logos and individual names. The fabric’s stable weave supports intricate stitching, ensuring your branding remains crisp and professional. For larger, more impactful designs on the back of the jacket, our high-quality printing services offer a bold look that is both durable and eye-catching. Our specialist team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your uniform reflects the quality of your own business.
Use Cases
The Skimmer Softshell is highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of industries. It is particularly effective for staff who move between indoor and outdoor environments, such as delivery drivers, surveyors, and event staff. Its smart appearance also makes it a popular choice for retail and hospitality teams who require a unified, professional look that offers more protection than a standard polo or sweatshirt.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, consider the layers you intend to wear beneath the jacket. As a softshell, it is designed to sit relatively close to the body; if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick knitwear underneath, you may wish to account for this in your choice. The black fabric is exceptionally practical for daily wear, as it effectively hides the minor dust and marks often encountered in a work environment.
Caring for your product
To preserve the integrity of the fabric and the vibrancy of your custom branding, it is vital to adhere to the care instructions found on the internal label. Regular cleaning according to these guidelines will ensure the softshell continues to perform its weather-resistant functions effectively.
We advise against the use of fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the technical properties of the softshell material. For best results, allow the garment to air dry naturally. Subjecting the jacket to high heat in a tumble dryer may damage the synthetic fibres or cause the custom print and embroidery to degrade prematurely.
